Chemosh כמושׁ
(2,050 words)
I. Name The divine name Chemosh has the phonological forms ‘
kam(m)iṯ’ and ‘
kam(m)uṯ’—the first one being attested in Eblaitic d
Ka-mi/mɩ́-iš, in the geographical name

Consequently, we find it in cuneiform script with and without determinative, the latter especially when it is a theophoric element of a personal name. Since Old Babylonian times, Malik and Malku(m) were used with case endings and in the plural forms
Mālikū and
Malkū. The character of the formation as an absolute s…
