In sum, there is plenty of evidence for the strong paradigm in (Pre‑)Sargonic Akkadian. There is, however, also some counter-evidence consisting of weak or at least weakened perfectives. To start with the latter, there are a few perfectives in proper names with assimilation of ʾ to a preceding r. Instead of yirʾam and yirʾib, we also find yirram and yirrib: Ìr-rí-bum HSS 10, 187: I 7 (Gasur), and Ìr-ra-am-DN MAD 3, 230. This shows weakening of ʾ but not (yet) adaptation to the weak paradigm (which would give (y)irām and (y)irīb). This may be a specific development of the cluster r  ʾ and/or restricted to proper names. Yirrib also occurs in Ur III Babylonian names; Hilgert (2002: 362–68) lists Ìr-rí-ib and Ìr-rí-bum alongside (DN-)ìr(-e)-eb and I-ri-ib/íb, etc.), perhaps as a survival from Sargonic Akkadian, since Babylonian shows no other traces of this change. However, the assimilation of ʾ to a preceding consonant may also occur in some Old Assyrian nouns (see Kouwenberg 2006: 164–65) and it is definitely found in original III/  ʾ and III/  ʿ verbs in Middle and Neo-Assyrian (see 2006: 172–73 and §17.8.3 below, p. 578).
