I am not interested in "Babylonian". I just like to fancy that elish is

I think we need to take all these "translations" with a grain
of salt as they may be no more than a figment of the imagination.

isaac,

"just an ending": i should have said: an adverbial suffix. so,
"elish" means "up"+adverbial suffix, i.e. "above". recall that
we are discussing a babylonian text.
