Opis

The cuneiform terms for sport introduce these studies on a variety of topics dealing with Akkadian and Sumerian lexicography. Other essays include an exploration of a cuneiform description of a volcanic eruption, the Assyrian words patu (blowy), patu (brim), mitpanu (longbow), talimu (full brother), budulxu (bdellium), zazu (halve), marcu (sick and arduous), xamadu (to help), nap u (lust), and kamasu, kana u, and qamacu. Semitic and Classical descriptions of naphtha and asphalt, and a study of the cuneiform name of the home of 'Omar Khayyam are included. Sumerian lexicography is not neglected, with explorations of nimur (salt, smoke, salt-swamp), and azalak (fuller).
