Please forgive me if this question is unwanted or invasive, but I had to ask: Where are you learning Akkadian?
The Background: I am an undergrad at Cornell and am in my second semester of learning Akkadian. My class is reading the Descent of Ishtar and in my frustration with a line and my text's inability to offer any aid, I Googled "akkadian ishtar descent transliteration" and the discussion on your lj last month was one of the top hits. Last thing that I expected to find. After reading the entries and the comments, I am curious to know where you are learning since Assyriology is not the largest field in academia.
