Etymology: Uncertain The word might be derived from sanāqu I (the LB Aram. lw. sanāqu II seems unlikely), in which case the only other attestation (BAM 6, 575 iv 34) is to be read ta-ás-ni-qa (note the ref. to expectorating blood in this attestation, which might refer to an illness or disease associated with narrowness or irritation or the respiratory tract); note also Scurlock 2003, 402.
