Hi!

I have been studying sumerian as a hobby for some years now. But there is a problem: I only study from books. This is not to a lack of trying in finding a teacher. I just live in a country where I can name everyone who know sumerian well enough, and most of them are retired. The rest in other cities.

So I have this problem that I can't get feedback on the excercises I give myself. Take for example this translation of a passage in the akkadian version of the epic of Gilgamesh. What am I doing wrong here? Am I doing anything wrong?

Ud as aniba imin dGilgamesh dEnkidu-ra gaba i-sag-de gub-ba. Ud-bi ba-zal. dGilgamesh-

e kui-ani ki i-nu-tum enna mar kiri-ta i-sub-ba. Ud-bi-a en tur-re dGilgamesh-e ki-se gu i-

mu-un-de: dilib-gu mu-en, siki bar-ra-me-en. Edenlil-la dag-ed-en, kus pirin-a mur-ed-en.

For context I should say, that I have been using the ePSD-dictionary, and textbook on grammar by Aleksi Sahala.

I live in a country where, if you are not about to die right now, getting treatment is difficult or expensive. I signed in for assessment, for very real problems at work, but I think I might have been too polite and not stressed my problems enough. In any case the healthcare administration has been ghosting me for three months straight after telling me they will be in touch. I am about to think that they will not be in touch.

And consequently I have just about had it with all this nonsense.

I am an adult, and at the behest of our workplace healthcare I read books on autism. They have a strong sense that I am an autist, and they suggested getting a diagnosis for work reasons, but they just don't do diagnosis themselves. They sent me to the public healthcare, which is the institution ghosting me. After having read on autism I have formed the oppinion that I am not an edge case. I think my case is pretty severe.

Well okay, maybe not severe in autism scale, but in the sense that I have all but failed most educational and occupational goals I have had, for what now seems like one big case of the good ol' A.

And right as I am about to find this out and get some accomodation for it, I get nerfed by some dumb bureaucratic economists.
