- Haupt, Paul (1917) “The Disease of King Teumman of Elam”, in Journal of the Society of Oriental Research[1], volume 1, page 90, derives the Aramaic and Hebrew from Assyrian Akkadian with s₁ as first radical, connecting to שָׁמִיר (šāmī́r, “adamant”), decidedly ignoring the occurrence in Qohelet with s₂ and claiming a vocalization masmár for the Hebrew, but a corresponding term in Akkadian seems still not attested and שָׁמִיר (šāmī́r, “adamant”) is probably an unproductive technical term.
