Let me give you a fourth description of my mother: My mother fills the festivals and offerings with joy. She is { an akitum offering } { (1 ms. has instead:) the akitum festival }, awesome (?) to look upon. She is the offspring, { the child } { (1 ms. has instead:) the daughter } of the king, a song of abundance. She is a place of entertainment set up for delights. { (1 ms. adds:) …… fruit …… abundance. } She is a lover, a loving heart who never becomes sated with pleasure. She is the good news that the captive will return { to his mother } { (1 ms. has instead:) to celebrate }.
