A considerable number of West Semitic names occurring in Assyrian and Babylonian 
cuneiform texts have long been known. Prof. ZIMMERN has given an excellent summary of the theo- 
phorous West Semitic names in SCHRADER's Ke/izsckriften und das Alte Testament, 3" edition, 
pp. 465 ff. The manner of rendering West Semitic sounds in cuneiform characters is in its main 
features set forth in DELITZSCH's Assyrische Grammatik. 1 shall here make some additional 
observations chiefly founded on the materials of the present work. 
West Semitic D, as a general rule, corresponds in Assyrian to f, e.g. "aco = Sa-a3- 
ma-a; NO39 — Ab-Sa-a; *mo"sy3 probably — Be al-ia-Su-pu, Dose — Mil-ki-a-Sa-pa; ap 
= Qa-u$-gabrz, "5*0 = (Hu- Si -)iim-ki, etc. The writing Mah-si-ia-a-u — Bi. roma is an 
exception, probably caused by the close resemblance of the West Semitic verb "on to Ass. kisä. 
In Babylonian, on the other hand, West Semitic D (| ».) Sppeaes as s; e. g. Sa-ma-ki-ilu TNB, 
Sa-mu-ki-im RPN, cf. Bi. 111300; *3rmowp = Ousu-lababi BE IX; * us (BROCKELMANN, p. 234) 
= Samsu(-iluna), (sao) = sumu (in Sumu-abi) Vice versà Assyrian-Babylonian $ is repre- 
sented in West Semitic writing by © (resp. t), e. g. Afur = “ox (Ass. Asurahiddin = Bi. Tros), 
Elarra = wow (Ass. Tukulti-apil-EXarra — Bi. "osbanbin, Ar. s0()sonbsn), afaridu = "08 (sic!) 
(Ass. Sulman-asarid — Bi. "oxınbü), Wabr — Halli)musu, Xarru — > and "e (Ass. Sarru-nari 
= Ar. "290; Sarrukin = Bi. unc; Nabü-Sar-iddin = Ar. 171012); Naba-Sar-usur = Ar. 92702); 
Sin-Yar-ugur = Ar. "2050; Sar-usur — Bi. NW; Mer gal-Sar-usur — Bi. xNwb2302); färu = "0 
(Ass. Sar-IMar — Ar. ON); fu; = mo, mt, VW (Ass. Naóu-Yum-iddin = Ar. vac; Ba. 
Bel-Sum-iddin — 781053, OTSS, p. 315, No. 46; Ba. Sum-ukin — Ar. 120%; Ba. Nabä-Sum-iskun 
= 320000, APO); la/s = Dow (Naba-Xallim, Ass. — Ar. Svar, Ba. — was, APO); Sama 
= vv (Ba. Nür-Samas — Ar. ww», APO); Ba. 7/9232 = Ar. WDR, STEVENSON, Contracts, 34, s; 
Labasi= Ar. va; Musegib = Sten; Rim-Sukun = Jaan, and so forth. Exceptions are the 
following: Ba. Naba-Sezibanni > Bi. 3278923, where t may be derived from the loan-word 37%, 
and Assar — Bi. mW, cf DAG? p.125. Su/man-akarid > Bi. nos2obV, is only an apparent 
exception, as the name should perhaps really be written Sulbmän-asarid. 
West Semitic t? is represented: in Assyrian by s, e. g. 298 = Sagab, "iv — I Sa-ra-a-a, 
Nya — Ba--sa, “bg = ?/Me--sa-a, WO — adnSa-ni-ru, PET — "Dimasqa (and, as in Baby- 
lonian, ^D-77a-a3-g;, Adnir. IV: IR 35, No. I, 16, 21); in Babylonian by ede NANI Sa-am-El, 
Dar. 265, s, ptb'aa = TA "'Di-;u-qa 197, 21, " Ti-ma-as-gi 53,63 Vice versà Assyrian and Baby- 
lonian s appears in West Semitic writing as D or t"; e. g. Sinaheriba = Bi. 39*n3o, Ar. 55"Nnmn3o 
and Svarv APO; Sin-Sar-usur > Ar. A202; Sin-uballit > Ar. von APO; Balassu-igbi > 
Spxoba (see under Näp).
