szil “elm”
*śala
salava “brittle willow”
sil (119x: Ur III, Old Babylonian) wr. si-il; zil; silx(|EZEN×LAL2|); sil5 “(to
be) remote; to split apart; to split, slit”. Sum. sil may also be the origin of
Germ. Sal-weide “a kind of willow, Salix caprea”, which is of uncertain
etymology (cf. Kluge 2002, p. 783), because to be brittle is a characteristic of
willows (but not of the Salix caprea who thus must have gotten its
denomination by analogy from other types of willows).
szilni “to chop, to cut, to plane, to slice”
*śale- “to splice, to split”
sil (119x: Ur III, Old Babylonian) wr. si-il; zil; silx(|EZEN×LAL2|); sil5 “(to
be) remote; to split apart; to split, slit”
szimat “flair, foresight; scent, sense of smell”
šim (819x: ED IIIa, ED IIIb, Old Akkadian, Ur III, Early Old Babylonian, Old
Babylonian, unknown) wr. šim “aromatic substance”
szirony “a colourful, narrow lather strap”
sir (4x: Early Old Babylonian, Old Babylonian) wr. sir3; sir2 “to bind”
szirony “sleet, wet snow”
*č’era “crust; snow crust”
*śarз “frozen snow, ice-crust on the snow”
kar (52x: Ur III, Old Babylonian) wr. kar2-kar2; kar2 “to blow; to light up,
shine; to rise”
szirt “cliff, ledge, rock”
sir, wr. sir5 “(to be) pointed”
szív “heart”
*śiδä(-mз), *śüδä(-mз)
sub (126x: Ur III, Old Babylonian) wr. su-ub; sub; sub6 “to suck”. The heart
not as “pumping”, but as sucking organ. The PU form with –δ- is solely based
on Finn. sydän, Lapp. čāδâ and Mordv. sedej, sedeńg, while all other FU
reflexes show –m-, -l- or –j-. Given the Sum. etymology, the Finn., Lapp. and
Mordv. words do not belong here and the PU form is thus mistaken.
szívni “to suck”
*šimi “to suck; to soak”
sub (126x: Ur III, Old Babylonian) wr. su-ub; sub; sub6 “to suck”. The
etymological connection, denied by EWU, p. 1441, is shown clearly not only by
our Sum., but also by the PA etymology.
szó “word”
*sāba “sign”
*sawз
sa (46x: ED IIIb, Old Akkadian, Ur III, Old Babylonian, unknown) wr. sa2 “to
advice, to counsel”, or zib (16x: ED IIIb, Ur III) wr. za3; zib “a mark; mark,
token; colour, paint”, perhaps a contamination of both words, not unusual in
Sum.
