Akkadian
[edit]Etymology
[edit]In view of the age of the word said to be borrowed from West Semitic in the form Aramaic כַּנְדָּא (kandā, “vessel, pot; specifically for wine”), apparently not considering origin in Sanskrit कन्दु (kandu, “pot”) and ultimately Proto-South Dravidian *kiṇṭV- (“pot”). Aramaic כּדּא (kaddā) could have been later dissimilated, as the other Northwest Semitic languages only have in Ugaritic 𐎋𐎄 (kd), Hebrew כַּד (kaḏ), Phoenician 𐤊𐤃 (kd).[1]
Pronunciation
[edit]- (Old Babylonian) IPA(key): /ˈkan.dum/
Noun
[edit]kandum m (plural kandānu)
- (Neo-Babylonian) a kandu jar, a container of earthenware or silver, mainly for wine
