The hoe (al) makes everything prosper, the hoe makes everything flourish. The hoe (al) is good barley, the hoe (al) is { a hunting net } { (1 ms. has instead:) an overseer }. The hoe (al) is brick moulds, the hoe (al) has made people exist (ĝal). It is the hoe (al) that is the strength of young manhood. The hoe (al) and the basket are the tools for building cities. It builds (aldue) the right kind of house, it cultivates (alĝaĝa) the right kind of fields. It is you, hoe, that extend (daĝal) the good agricultural land! The hoe (al) subdues for its owner (lugal) any agricultural lands that have been recalcitrant (bal) against their owner (lugal), any agricultural lands that have not submitted to their owner (lugal). It chops the heads off the vile esparto grasses, yanks them out at their roots, and tears at their stalks. The hoe (al) also subdues (alĝaĝa) the ḫirin weeds.
