Abstract
This paper addresses the idiomatic phrase ana appi šūṣû, attested only in Neo-Assyrian, Neo- and Late Babylonian letters. Literally meaning ‘to make go out of the nose’, the phrase is commonly translated according to the specific contexts in which it appears. The aim of this paper is to establish a consistent translation in its figurative sense. For this purpose, we first try to identify its function within the illocutionary act. Based on these findings and a detailed examination of the contents of the pertinent letters, an attempt is made to determine the connotative meaning of the phrase.
