I’m starting Akkadian with “A Grammar of Akkadian” by John Huehnergard.
I just did Exercise G from Lesson 2, and in sentence 8 (The wife's wool is in the house.) I wrote:

šīpātum ša aššatim ina bītim

But the answer key (Key to A Grammar of Akkadian) gives:

šīpātim ša aššatim ina bītim

I don’t understand why šīpātim is in the genitive instead of the nominative…
Does anyone know why?
