44, MAJOR C. R. CONDER, D.C.L., R.E., 
but with a final ‘‘s,”? which also occurs in Akkadian and in 
many other dialects of Western Asia as the end of personal 
names. 
(8) Lab sunna. The first word is common in Turkic lan- 
guages, meaning “ good,” “brave,” ‘ hero,” &. Sun may 
be the Akkadian sun for “ battle,’ or perhaps the Medic 
sanu, Turkish san—“ noble,” “ powerful,” so that the mean- 
ing would be “hero of battle,” the final na being the genitive 
sign common in all these languages. 
(9) Kamais suggests the name of Chemosh, which is pos- 
sibly non-Semitic. Gesenius thought it meant “ subduer,” 
which agrees with the Turanian root kam or gam, “ to bend,” 
here found with the personal ending in “s.”” Possibly, however, 
the word comes from the Akkadian Kam (also a Turkic word) 
‘* priest.” 
(10) Tarkan nas. The first part is as in No. 7, a common 
Turkic word. Nas may be compared with the Susian nazi, 
the Akkadian nazi or nis for “ king,’ which was also used in 
Hebrew, probably as a loan word. 
(11) Matz rima or Mas lima. This is obscure, though we 
have mash, “ soldier,” in Akkadian, and mas as a form of bas, 
“chief,” in Turkic languages. Jim in Akkadian is said to 
mean “‘ front,” so that the name may signify a “ leader.” 
(12) To tar. The second part, tar, we have seen to mean 
“chief”? (No. 1). The first part may be compared with ta, 
“ powerful,” “high,” “ great,” in some Turanian languages, 
as, for instance, in Susian, a dialect of Medic, and in 
Chinese. This is probably the meaning of the name of T’aw 
or 1’ ai (Tow or Tor), King of Hamath in David’s time, accord- 
ing to the Bible, for which, as a Semitic word, only the 
meaning ‘ wandering” is obtainable. 
(13) Tsuatsasi or Tuatase. This may mean “strong 
master,” from the Turkic tot, tat, meaning ‘ strong,’’ and the 
common Turanian as, asi, “master,” but in Ugric speech we 
have susi for “wolf”? (Donner, i. p. 177), and many Altaic 
tribes claimed descent from wolves. A tribe of Zuzim is 
mentioned in Assyrian records. 
(14) Khetasar, “ Lord of the Hittites.” See what is said 
of No. 6. 
(15) Maura sar. See the preceding. Perhaps the first 
part stands for muru, “ city.” 
(16) Sapa lala. The word lala has already been mentioned 
as meaning “chief.” Sap is less evident. It was the name 
of a Chaldean deity, and is probably the Philistine Saph. 
There are several roots to which it might be referred, 
(17) Mautenar.
