@Sartma: I have saved the link to this lower three-digit-number of Neo-Assyrian toponyms, however Levey as cited by Haschmi noted a few derived terms, a metal god and a copper worker, and there should be derived terms, preferrably with vowel quality u (or o or aw, not visible from Old Akkadian on, but at least possible in neighbour field languages) in the first syllable, ultimately coming to mean “metal flakes”.

Though some of the terms may be wrongly related, as well as transcribed. I know however that an occupation in particular may occur only in one list, and gods there were also many rare ones. And it often looks somewhat like after the Second World War the philology of the tablets started from scratch and let some previous readings go by the board.
