| comment | Borrowed from Akk. ṣuḫāru PS *ṣγr ‘(to be) small’, that is well attested in Ugaritic in its original form. But it remains unclear why Akk. ḫ and ṣ should have shifted to γ and s (s̀) in Ugaritic. The former correspondence could probably be explained by the speaker’s awareness of the etymological relationship between ṣuḫāru and ṣγr ‘small, of tender years, young’ (an etymologically motivated contamination). The latter can only be accounted for by some sort of phonetic difference between Akkadian ṣ and Ugaritic ṣ (affricate vs. non-affricate or glottalized vs. backed?) (Kogan 2015: 353). |
