HW² III/1, 232b proposes to restore ZAG-[an GEŠTU-an], ‘the right ear’ in l. 3, cf. also Cotticelli-Kurras P. 1998a: 115. Clogged ears survive in the medical series sakikkû (8, 16–17; Schmidtchen E. 2021a: 402–403).

⸢ḫa-ap⸣-pí-ni-ìš-ši cannot mean ‘in his wealth/in his being rich’ as proposed by Riemschneider K.K. 2004a: 170. It is more likely to be the datice-locative of the adjective ḫappina- with a sentence-initial personal clitic.
