Q^^, HDI^ "heap"?); — issapik Nif. of "iQtJ,* properly "pour out"; til&ais Assyrian adverbial form from ^p "hill", properly speaking from the plural = tilS,ni;—5. ibis Infin. of {^'32/ "make." — 6. usatkanni Impf. Shafel of ]3ri, probably with the suffix Is* Ps. sing, instead of usatkaninni. — 7. ini 1 Ps. imperf. Kal of [^Jj; meaning in Assyrian "afflict"; unakkir 1 Ps. imperf. Pael of ^nj in the sense of "change"; timin see above ;— 8. magSru to be "favourable" Ideogr. II Rawl. 7. 29;— 10. abt4t Plur. fem. of abat = p^j; "something woven", "network" — hence "firm building" (Oppert "columns", Talbot "new" ;— both are unsuitable in meaning and incapable of vindication as to form); ik§ir 1 Ps. imperf. of kasar = Hebrew TU^^ "to be straight, right" ; in Assyr. "to make right", "put to rights";—mi kit f)30 instead of mikint, comp. Hebrew HJIDO properly "stand" then "substructure" (Rawl.); u§ziz 1 Ps. imperf. of the Shafel of ziiz "come forth", in Shaf "renew", comp. ziz "anew" Beh. 25. 26; kitir Hebr. nnri3 "capital of a column" (?);— 15. a§guma 1 Ps. imperf. of {
GENESIS XL 113 is wrongly understood to express a plural. We liave moreover mixed modes of wi'iting the name asBa-bi-AN.RA (dingir- 128 ra) Nebucadn. (East India House Inscr.) IV, 28 &c.* The most important phonetic forms of writing the name, such as we find on Nebucadnezar's bricks and elsewhere, are B a- bi-lu (liv, lav) and Ba-bi-i-1 u.** The original Baby- lonian pronunciation was accordingly Babil, more precisely B^bil (see Syllab. 365), perhaps Bab tlu (see the last mentioned phonetic mode of writing the word***). From the above mentioned ideographic mode of writing we per- ceive, while observing the phonetic style of representing the word, the meaning of the name as well. This meaning was therefore "God's gate-way." There are other examples * Respecting other ideograms, in which however there is some special peculiarity (DIN. TIR. KI; SU-AN-NA-KI &c.), see Delitzsch Farad, pp. 213 foil. ** On this see Norris Diet. p. 70; Delitzsch Farad, pp. 212 foil. *** The final u is of course unessential (comp. also the adjective of relation Babilai written Babila-ai III Rawl. 43. II, 1), and therefore ought no more to be quoted as an argument for deriving the name for God ilu '^^ from a root H^N) than to explain the termination -(ov in the Greek name for the city, Ba^vXmv. Also we regard it as more than doubtful whether the Fersian B&biru ought to be cited in explanation of the Greek name. The Fei'sian form is of course inflected just like an Indo-Germanic u stem (comp. the adject. Babiru- vija). Now we know that the names of the Mesopotamian rivers Ev(pQUX7]q and TiyQrjq, Tiypig were certainly introduced to the Greeks through the Fersians (comp. the Pers. Ufratu and Tigra with the Serai- tic Fer&t and Diglat) ; but, as in the case of the name Ba^vkmv, compared with the Persian Bi.biru, the return to I in place of the r is certainly strange, so it can be seen from Ufr&tu compared with EicpQCCTTjq that the u of the Persian w-stems has no particular influence over the Greek ending in both the proper names. Moreover the Greeks among other nations must certainly have attained to a knowledge of Babel, the commercial city of ancient renown, before the Fersian age. For the ending -cdv the Greeks alone are responsible. 8
