-Sigrist & Damerow attribute very similar year names to Ur-Ningirsu year (ca) and to Ur-Namma year (j) and these tablets could belong to either.
-Muazzez Çig (AOAT 25, p. 78) suggests the possibility of reading AOAT 25, p. 78 10, rev.3-4 as ur-a[b-ba] ensi2. If this is correct then the year name on this tablet is more likely to correspond to Ur-Namma rather than Ur-Ningirsu.

-Only the first year name can be securely assigned to a particular year in Ur-Namma's reign, namely his first year. The use of letters rather than numbers for the rest of the year names indicates that they correct sequence is unknown.
