"Who since the most ancient times has ever known a sister reveal a brother's whereabouts? Come! Let us go to his friend!" Then they offered his friend a river of water, and he accepted it. They offered him a field of grain, and he accepted it." My friend ducked down his head in the grass, but I don't know his whereabouts { (1 ms. adds:) Dumuzid ducked down his head in the grass, but I don't know his whereabouts }." They looked for Dumuzid's head in the grass, but they couldn't find him." He ducked down his head in the short grass, but I don't know his whereabouts."
