Trying to do something funny

I stumbled upon a store selling these copper bracelets with custom engravings. The above image was one of the examples given and it gave me an idea.

I wanted to put together a phrase roughly meaning "Ea-nāṣir's Fine Copper Ingots". Using a combination of The Tablet Itself, comments from other redditors, and Wiktionary, I came up with the following:

𒍏 𒄖𒁀𒊑 𒁕𒄠𒆪𒁴 𒀜𒌅 𒂍𒀀𒈾𒍢𒅕

ᵘʳᵘᵈᵃ gu-ba-ri da-am#-qu2-tim at-tu-e₂-a-na-ṣi-ir
uruda gubārī damqūtim attû-Ea-nāṣir

I know this is a long shot because most people don't know the first thing about Akkadian or cuneiform but can anyone who knows better than me tell me if I'm way off base?

tl;dr Somebody wanna check my work so I don't fuck up an extremely niche joke?
