Etymology
[edit]Orthographic borrowing from Sumerian ๐ (eโ /โ ฤโ /, โhouseโ).
Logogram
[edit]๐ โข (Eโ)
- Sumerogram of bฤซtum (โhouseโ)
Hittite
[edit]Noun
[edit]๐ โข (ร /pฤr/) n (plural ๐๐จ๐ (ร.MEล ))
Alternative forms
[edit]- ๐๐ (ร-er /โ pฤrโ /)
Sumerian
[edit]Pronunciation
[edit]Jagersma proposes /haj/ as original pronunciation, which later changed to /หeห/, with loss of initial /h/ and contraction of /aj/ to /eห/.
The initial /h/ would explain the Semitic reflection of the word ๐๐ฒ (eโ-gal /โ ฤgalโ /) in words like Ugaritic ๐ ๐๐ (hkl /โ hรชkalโ /), Arabic ููููููู (haykal) or Hebrew ืึตืืึธื (hรชแธตฤl). 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 ๐๐๐ (eโ-a-neโ /โ ฤ'aneโ /) ("his/her house"), where the ๐ (a) of the enclitic possessive pronoun ๐๐ (a-neโ /โ aneโ /, โhis/herโ) is spelled out and not contracted, as it normally would be, with the preceding vowel. Compare with ๐ฉ๐ณ๐ (gemeโ-neโ /โ gemรชneโ /, โhis/her female slaveโ), with contraction of ๐ฉ๐ณ (gemeโ /โ gemeโ /)'s final vowel and the /a/ of ๐๐ (a-neโ /โ aneโ /).
