Royal courier, start the journey! I want to send you to Nibru -- deliver this message! You are going on a long journey. My mother { is worried, she cannot sleep } { (1 ms. has instead:) is too (?) …… to sleep }. Although the way to { her } { (1 ms. has instead:) the closed } woman's domain is blocked, deliver my letter of greeting into her hands, { as she keeps asking } { (1 ms. has instead:) and then she will not keep asking } the { travellers } { (1 ms. has instead:) wayfarers } about my well-being. Then my mother will be delighted, and will treat you most kindly (?) for it.
