I see. Looks a bit old-fashioned, but lets one understand what is what.
Sorry, it seems I won't be able to post my promised translation today (the
office where I am now will be disconnected in about half an hour because
of some electric works).
Anyway, my source is:
I. M. Dyakonov, Akkadskij jazyk, - in: Jazyki Azii i Afriki/Semitskie
jazyki. No. IV/1 in the series: Jazyki Azii i Afriki, Moskva, Glavnaja
redakcija vostochnoj literatury, 1991; idem, Vvedenije. Afrazijskie jazyki
- ibid.
I can copy D(y/j)akono(v/ff)'s reconstruction for consonants:
Proto-S. Old Akkadian dial. Old Bbylonian dial.
