Logogram edit
𒂄 • (ŠAḪ₂)
- Sumerogram of šaḫûm (“pig”)
Sumerian edit
Etymology 1 edit
A term found in the alleged Euphratic substrate theory, which connects it to Proto-Indo-European *suH- (“pig, swine”). This word in particular is not of a typical syllable structure for being native Sumerian, which is the main sign indicating a potential borrowing into the language. Concurring with the opinion of Pennsylvania State University's Dr. Rubio, the borrowing from multiple languages rather than a specific substratum is now the predominant viewpoint in the field.
