Etymology: Inherited
31. GG-stem (Grundstamm/Basic stem): To gather, collect

OBOB: Old Babylonian (ca. 2000–1600 BCE) — new attestation (not in AHw/CAD) GG-stem (Grundstamm/Basic stem) anāku ana GN ka-am-sa-ku RATL, 143: 19 ARCHIBAB “I (and my troops) gathered in GN”. new

NBNB: Neo Babylonian (ca. 1000–626 BCE) — new attestation (not in AHw/CAD) GG-stem (Grundstamm/Basic stem) (silver) ik-te-mis OIP 114, 41: 11 “he collected”. new

LBLB: Late Babylonian (ca. 626 BCE – 100 CE) — new attestation (not in AHw/CAD) GG-stem (Grundstamm/Basic stem) 20 kusâtu ina šaddānū ki-in-ṣa-a-ma dubsar 3, 135: 16 “gather 20 coats garments into boxes!” new

22. DD-stem (Doubled stem/Intensive): To gather, collect

NANA: Neo Assyrian (ca. 1000–600 BCE) — new attestation (not in AHw/CAD) sīsê ga-mu-sú lipšuḫū bur-ba-a-ni SAA 5, 64 r. 4 SAAo “the horses are gathered, may the ... become quiet”. Cf. SAD G 7. SAA 5 translates “have been heavily pressed” and refers to Syriac gmz “to mangle clothes, press heavily”. Cherry 2023, 107f. suggests a verb gammuzu “to jib, balk, move restively (of horse)”, referring to J.E. Manna, Leksīqōn kaldāyā-ʾarbāyā (Mosul 1900, reprint Beirut 1975) 879b s.v. gmḏ. However, this verb is suspicious, since it neither appears in Payne Smith 1879 nor in Sokoloff 2009. For NA /k/ spelled g see Leonhardt 2024, 177, and for NA /su/ spelled sú see Leonhardt 2024, 24. new
