ṣinnatu II
DRAFT
Meanings:
shield (?)
de:German: Deutsch Schild (?)
Grammar:
pos: subst.Substantive
Etymology: Driver 1954, 20, plausibly compares the word to Hebrew ṣinnāh “large shield covering the whole body, standing shield” (HALOT 1037 s.v. II צִנׇּה); the initial consonant is thus ṣ (cf. Durand 1998, 391). The spelling with si- seems to be limited to its use as an Akkadogram in Hittite.
