tarāqu

Neither the root nor the mng. are established. Cf. the disc. in George 2003, 888 (“to relent”? after A. Westenholz) and Streck 2007b, 420. For the PN listed in CAD T 207 cf. Hilgert 2002, 193 (interpretation remains uncertain). For li-tá-ar-GA-am-ma RTC 78 cf. CAD T 205 tarāku 6 (N-stem?). The name of the demon La-ta-ra-AK/RAK (Lambert 1987–1990, 163) can well be derived from tarāku “to beat”: “Unbeatable”; pace George ib., the commentary BM 62741: 23 lā ta-ri-KUM does not decide the last consonant since a reading ta-ri-kum instead of -qu is possible. For it-ta-RAK in Gilg. XI 131 cf. Streck ib.: ittarak “schlug nieder”?
