Can anyone recommend a good Sumerian - English dictionary?

I have been using an evolved form of Sumerian in order to create a custom language for my world. I had figured I would use a dead language and just evolve it in a direction that made sense for my people, changing the pronunciation of some words to something similar or based off a combination of Sumerian words or word meanings while ignoring the other updated words. You know, the way languages in the real world actually evolve. I felt using a dead language would be perfect for this.

Up until now, I have been using Glosbe as my translation dictionary. They don't always have the exact translation, but even when they don't they will give something that's close. This is very helpful given a language like Sumerian in which a lot of the language has been lost to time.

However, for some strange reason, just earlier today Glosbe's "less-accurate translations" feature inexplicably stopped working. This has set me into a little bit of a panic because I was right in the middle of scrapping together my language when this happened, and now I need some other good reliable Sumerian - English dictionary in order to get the thing filled out.

If there's anyone out there who knows or can recommend anything, please help.
