Attestations search

att:bib:KAR 158

Attestations that cite a text. Type att: and a reference: the list shows the attestations in the order of the text — the reference (for a field search, the matched words), the entry and its meaning. Enter opens the highlighted entry at that attestation; Ctrl+Enter lists them all and searches CAD and AHw for the plain reference.
att:akk:šarrum

The Akkadian text of the attestation. Diacritics are ignored, so sarrum finds šarrum and ba-la-tu finds ba-la-ṭu.
att:tr:king

The translation of the attestation.
att:mus:BM 34160

Museum number. Spaces, dots and hyphens are ignored, so BM 34160, BM.34160 and BM34160 all match.
att:src:ebl

The project a passage is linked to: ebl, seal, archibab, cal.
att:period:ob

Attestations of a period, by the id of the period list: oakk, ob, mb, sb, nb, lb, oa, ma, na … A short id also takes its sub-periods (ob → ob_onwards, oblit, oblex).
att:lemma:šarrum

Attestations belonging to one entry, by its lemma or its entry id.
att:bib:ARM period:ob

Fields combine, each one narrowing the search further. This gives the Old Babylonian attestations from ARM; att:akk:šarrum period:nb the Neo-Babylonian ones containing šarrum.
att:KAR 158

Without a field, every attestation field is searched at once.

Discussion

Cf. CAD D 104 s.v. dapāru “to become sated”, AHw. 1380 s.v. ṭapāru “sich herandrängen an”.

Mayer 2016, 203 (cf. also the disc. in George 2003, 790) suggests a verb tepēru “to jostle”, for which no etym. would be known. Semantics require separating this verb from dapāru “to go off”. For a possible etym. cf. Arab. ġafīr “zahlreich, reichlich (Menge), groß (Zahl, Anzahl)” Wehr 1985, 920. In Akk., only Gt is attested so far.
