ud-de3 na mu (12) nam-til3 a-ba-ni-šid-e. ne-en a-na-am?

I wonder what the purpose of 'ud-de3 na' [π’Œ“ π’‰ˆ π’ˆΎ] is? Also I think 'nam-til3' [𒉆 π’‹Ύ] should be 'nam-til3-la-ĝu10' [𒉆 π’‹Ύ π’†· π’ˆ¬], as it is 'my life', right? Also, I've never seen an instance of 'a-na-am' [π’€€ π’ˆΎ π’„ ], written that way, rather 'a-na-am3' [π’€€ π’ˆΎ π’€€π’€­], though I may be mistaken.

I wonder if in the end, the first sentence wouldn't just be better as 'mu (12) i3-me-en.' [π’ˆ¬ π’Œ‹π’Ήπ’Ή π’‰Œ π’ˆ¨ π’‚—]. I haven't seen any examples of people directly giving their ages, but we have inscriptions of how long the kings lived, using the copula 'i3' [π’‰Œ], literally as 'X was Y years'.
Ex: eridug^ki a2-lu-lim lugal mu 28800 *i3-ak*, a2-lal3-ĝar mu 36000 *i3-ak* [π’‰£π’† π’€‰π’‡»π’…†π’ˆ—π’ˆ¬π’ͺπ’‰Œπ’€ π’€‰π’‹­π’ƒ»π’ˆ¬π’¬ π’‰Œπ’€]

So in summary, I would have translated the sentence as:
mu (12) i3-me-en / ne-en a-na-am3
[π’ˆ¬ π’Œ‹π’Ήπ’Ή π’‰Œ π’ˆ¨ π’‚— / π’‰ˆ π’‚— π’€€ π’ˆΎ π’€€π’€­]
