Šiuni. Consequently, the majority of scholars translate the list d Haldi d IM<br />
d UTU as "Haldi, Teišeba, Šiuni". However, the formula in question possibly<br />
needs to be translated with more caution, word for word: "Haldi, Weather<br />
Deity, Sun Deity".<br />
On the one hand, ideograms can mostly be found only with the phonetic<br />
complement -še, which is the ergative ending and carries no information<br />
about the stem.<br />
On the other hand, the texts including the above-mentioned formula<br />
were by and large discovered away from Tušpa, on the territories occupied<br />
by the Urartians. The neighbours of the Urartians must mostly have had<br />
their own Weather and Sun deities. In this case, rendering the names of the<br />
deities with ideograms is to be understood as an intentional ambiguity<br />
aimed at the maximum effect. The Urartians would perceive the triad d Haldi<br />
d IM d UTU as their own supreme gods, while the conquered people would<br />
interpret it as the unity of the Urartian and local deities and would treat the<br />
inscription with more awe.<br />
The final part of the formula is rather obscure: mei arhi úruliani mei inaini<br />
mei naraa aúie úlulie. None of the corpora offers its translation although<br />
the meaning of its words, taken separately, has recently been specified.<br />
The passage approximately translates as follows:<br />
‘Neither shall (he have) a way out, nor shall the god or people lead (him)<br />
anywhere;’<br />
Although neither of the numerous curse formulas found in the Ancient<br />
East shows any apparent parallels with the cited passage, the latter, anyway,<br />
clearly reflects the primitive ideas about the universe order.<br />
The space "under the sun" is regarded as the territory under the authority<br />
of the Urartian deities and the deities of the peoples conquered by the Urartians.<br />
Beyond this area there was a chaos, and other territories subject to the<br />
power of other deities and peoples. Presumably, the curse formula must<br />
refer to the restriction in offering a shelter to a sinner by other, foreign<br />
peoples and gods.<br />
