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 />
