Pronunciation

[edit]

Jagersma proposes /haj/ as original pronunciation, which later changed to /ห€eห/, with loss of initial /h/ and contraction of /aj/ to /eห/.

The initial /h/ would explain the Semitic reflection of the word ๐’‚๐’ƒฒ (eโ‚‚-gal /โ ฤ“galโ /) in words like Ugaritic ๐Ž…๐Ž‹๐Ž (hkl /โ hรชkalโ /), Arabic ู‡ูŽูŠู’ูƒูŽู„ (haykal) or Hebrew ื”ึตื™ื›ึธืœ (hรชแธตฤl). Moreover, it is also supported by Ebla and Old Akkadian orthography, where the sign ๐’‚ (eโ‚‚) had the phonetic values /ha/ and /แธฅa/.

As for the final /j/, some Auslaut must be posited to account for the common writing ๐’‚๐’€€๐’‰Œ (eโ‚‚-a-neโ‚‚ /โ ฤ“'aneโ /) ("his/her house"), where the ๐’€€ (a) of the enclitic possessive pronoun ๐’€€๐’‰Œ (a-neโ‚‚ /โ aneโ /, โ€œhis/herโ€) is spelled out and not contracted, as it normally would be, with the preceding vowel. Compare with ๐’Šฉ๐’†ณ๐’‰Œ (gemeโ‚‚-neโ‚‚ /โ gemรชneโ /, โ€œhis/her female slaveโ€), with contraction of ๐’Šฉ๐’†ณ (gemeโ‚‚ /โ gemeโ /)'s final vowel and the /a/ of ๐’€€๐’‰Œ (a-neโ‚‚ /โ aneโ /).
