SBSB: Standard Babylonian (ca. 1000–0 BCE) — new attestation (not in AHw/CAD) GG-stem (Grundstamm/Basic stem) šambaliltu tasammud! taḫappap ta-na-áš-šip BAM 12, 206: 8 ↗eBL “you grind, crush, (and) winnow(?) fenugreek”. The i-vowel matches the imperative išip. Cf. also iš-ši-pu in CAD N, 53 s.v. našābu, although the context is unclear. Steinert ibid. 209f. points to Bibl.-Aram., Syr. nšyp “fine, purified (flour)” (cf. Sokoloff 2002, 779; 2009, 953; 2017, 403). In the processing of fenugreek, one would expect that first, their husks would be crushed, then the husks would be removed by winnowing, and finally, the remains would be ground. ^new
