Useful dictionary
If you know the word in Akkadian but meet a speaker of Kassite then this dictionary stone could prove useful. Kassite was neither an Indo-European nor a Semitic language. It has faded away in the last three millenia. Akkadian is a Semitic language and odd words are still sometimes to be found in the Mesopotamian Neo Aramaic dialects, even though the language began to decline around the 8th century BC.
On balance then the dictionary can be fairly safely left on the museum shelf.
