My dear Sir

I thank you for the notes you sent to me – you wanted some examples of kittu there are not many and I do not think I have nay new ones but the word is only a form of kin the Akkad equivalent of which is gina it the form kittu comes from kintu just as limuttu comes from limuntu I have no other example of which I translate “only” it is doubtful and I shall review this and many other words before I close the work – I send you 32 pages more and hope to send another set in a fortnight¹

I had the pleasure of hearing a paper of yours read at the New Society²

Yours respectfully
George Smith
