Proto-Hurro-Urartian[edit]

Etymology[edit]

Unknown; possibly borrowed from Proto-Semitic *kinnār- (“lyre”), if not the reverse,[1] which is however surely of foreign origin since non-identical homorganic second and third root consonants are disallowed for a Semitic word.[2][3]

Noun[edit]

*kinnar

  1. lyre, harp

Descendants[edit]

Notes[edit]

  1. ^ ÙZ×BALAG, a combination of the signs 𒍚 (ÙZ) and 𒁆 (BALAG), is an exceedingly rare ligature and not currently available in Unicode.
