Reading Sumerian Names, II: Gilgameš

(1) In the famous Early Dynastic god list from Fāra (SF 1), the name is spelled with an initial sequence GIS. NE.PAP, in which NE.PAP (= BIL.PAP = “BIL2”) corresponds to NE-sessig (BIL2) in other early spellings of the name (see below). Thus, dGIS.NE.PAP.GA.MES in Fāra (SF 1 rev. iii 25; see Krebernik 1986: 182, xiii 7’; Mander 1986: 86) corresponds to GIS.BIL2.GA.MES ( dGIS.NE-sessig.GA.MES) later on.
