szén “coal”
*śine “charcoal”, *ś8ne “tinder”
šeĝ (261x: ED IIIa, Old Akkadian, Ur III, Old Babylonian, unknown) wr. šeĝ6
“to cook; to fire (pottery)”
szép “beautiful, handsome, pretty”
*śeppä “clever”
šab (25x: Old Babylonian) wr. šab “to trim; to make clear”. Since a participle in
the sense of inflectional languages does not exist in Sumerian (non-finite verbal
forms lack prefixes and suffixes, cf. Edzard 2003, p. 130), šab means also
“trimmed, made clear” and thus “beautiful”.
szeplő “freckle”
zib (16x: ED IIIb, Ur III) wr. za3; zib “a mark; mark, token; colour, paint”
szer “instrument, appliance; material, means; order, succession”, -szer/-
szor/-ször “... times”
*śerз “order, progression, series”
šar (245x: ED IIIa, Ur III, Old Babylonian) wr. šar2; šar; šar2-šar2 “totality,
world; (to be) numerous; 3600”
szérű “barn floor, threshing yard”
šu rah (13x: Ur III, Old Babylonian) wr. šu rah2 “to beat; to knead”
szesz “alcohol, spirit”
ses (42x: ED IIIa, ED IIIb, Ur III, Old Babylonian, unknown) wr. ses “(to be)
bitter, brackish”. Obviously, it concerns beer; there are not less than 12
denominations for “beer”.
szidni “to scold”, szitkozódik
*śoδa(-), *śoδ’a(-), śota(-) “battle, strife, war; to battle, to fight”
šud (115x: ED IIIa, ED IIIb, Ebla, Old Akkadian, Early Old Babylonian, Old
Babylonian, unknown) wr. šud3; šu-tu; šudx(|KA.ŠU|) “prayer, dedication;
blessing”. Semantically, cf. Latin sacer “holy; damned”
szíj “strap”
*ś8wз “draught-cord”
sa (68x: Old Babylonian) wr. sa “gut; sinew, tendon; string”
szik “natron, alkali”
*ć8kkз “salt”
sig (343x: ED IIIa, ED IIIb, Old Akkadian, Lagash II, Ur III, Old Babylonian,
1st millennium) wr. sig “(to be) weak; (to be) low; (to be) thin; (to be) narrow”.
“weak” concerning the soil means dry, and natron-soil is dry, which makes the
etymological connection to aszik, aszú (v.s.). Thus, the meaning of the PU
form is wrong.
