as possible and indulged in all kinds of national etymologies. As instances of this may be 
mentioned such ways of writing as «RI-BÄD (= SStar-düri) for Sarduri, IStar-hundu for 
Sutur-Nahundi, LUGAL or MAN (= Jarru) for Hittite far and West Semitic milk, TUR 
(= «aru "son") for Aramaic zzar "lord", and so forth. In many cases it is still harder to de- 
cide to which language or group of languages a foreign name belongs and to dissolve the 
names into their constituent elements. Therefore the preparation of List II, 3 has been attended 
with many difficulties, as I have had to explain the origin and composition of names of the 
most miscellaneous character, partly belonging to little known or almost unknown languages: 
Assyrian, Babylonian, Sumerian, Aramaic, Phoenician, Hebrew, Arabic, Egyptian, Greek, Iranian, 
Elamite, Cassite, Urartian or Alarodian, Hittite, Mitannian, etc. The explanation of a name 
given in this part of the work differs in many cases from the interpretation to be found in 
List I, and may be regarded as my revised opinion. The rule “dies diem docet" is here appli- 
cable. Yet there is much that remains hypothetical or doubtful. 
As regards the Assyrian-Babylonian names, both their formation and the ideas on which 
they are usually based and which appear in them, may be considered to be known for the most 
part, by reason of earlier investigations! This does not mean that particular problems of Assy- 
ran onomatology are not still awaiting their solution. To what an extent ideas earlier accepted 
need correction is proved by Prof UNGNAD's suggestion as regards the name Sennacherib ?. 
And what valuable special researches can be made in the investigation of Assyrian names, 
appears from Dr. HOLMA's study on the form guttulu used in the formation of Assyrian-Baby- 
lonian personal names?, I do not wish, however, at this juncture to discuss Assyrian-Babylonian 
names, and will only give a list of the ideograms used in the names which are checked in this 
book and their phonetic equivalents.
