rašû III
DRAFT
Meanings:
to be thoughtless, neglect; D: to behave imperiously, act in contempt or disrespect
Grammar:
pos: v.Verb
Etymology: Inherited Cf. Hebr./Aram. ršʿ “freveln” (mostly Qal/G “freveln, schuldig werden” or Hifil/Š “schuldig erklären, sich schuldig machen”; see SEDo PS *ršʿ “to be wicked, ruthless”, cf. Kogan 2015, 457).
Discussion
The reading ta-ra?-šu? in the incant. AML 160: 23, cit. CAD R 207a s.v. rašû C, is prob. to be abandoned, see comm. in AML p. 389.
The two instances from Mari letters (see CAD rašû C) are the only candidates for a G-stem, but their meaning is uncertain (see Durand 1987; Durand 1998, 51).
The word may belong to rašû II “to become irriated”, in the D-stem “to irritate”.
