1.1.4Meaning
The word LÚ.MEŠtapariyaššiyeš corresponds to Akk. maliki ‘princes’ in the Akkadian version of the omen (Götze 1928a:138, van Brock 1962a:105), which is in accordance with the meaning expected based on its etymology, see under Stem. It is translated with “governor, commander” in Pecchioli Daddi 1982a:437. However, morphematically speaking, tapariyašša/i- means ‘of the authority’ or ‘of the command’, which can modify men or even a deity.
[D.S.]
