The logogram for nawāru is usually ZÁLAG, which is very similar but not identical. Riemschneider K.K. 2004a: 56 hesitantly proposed a reading u-UD.UD for unammer. ebēbu is usually not used with the moon.

In EAE 16, §11, 12-13 (Rocheberg-Halton F. 1988a, 105) maṣṣarta igmur is used differently from maṣṣarta uštanīḫ, ‘it lasts through the watch’. Thus maṣṣarta igmur likely means that the eclipse ends together with the respective night watch.

The sign sign between the two ŠÚ-signs is damaged, but looks like RU. The logograms for erēpu, ‘to cloud over’, is usually ŠÚ or ŠÚ.SÚ.RU. This could be a shortened logogram or accidental haplography or even switch of sign order, but there seems to be no other example for this. šurru erēbi is thus a tentative compromise to avoid conjecture.
