2023-07-03Amorrean-Accadian bilingual vocabulary discovered
The paper by Andrew George, Manfred Krebernik, "Two Remarkable Vocabularies: Amorite-Akkadian Bilinguals!", Revue d'assyriologie et d'archéologie orientale Vol. 116 (2022), 113-166) concerns the edition of two hitherto unpublished cuneiform tablets from the Paleo-Babylonian period that contain a bilingual Amorrean and Akkadian vocabulary. The discovery makes a significant contribution to our knowledge of the grammar and vocabulary of Amorrean, a Northwest Semitic language.
