SIG8 (𒃰𒋺𒋛, GAD.KID2,GIŠ) is equated with the Akkadian generic name for all heavenly phenomena kakkabu in the sign-list Ea and its commentary Aa (MSL 14 303: 10, 14 320: 19). In the later example, a gloss x-gi allows for a reading siggi or similar. See previously CAD K 46. This corrects Kurtik's previous reading AKKIL (GAD.KID2.SI), which is only one stroke different from SIG8.
Kurtig previously reading AKKIL (GAD.KID.SI) is just one cuneiform stroke different from SIG8
kakkabu in CAD K 46.
is a term equated in a lexical list (Antagal?) with the Akkadian generic name for all heavenly phenomena kakkabu.
The tablet quoted below (and read in this way by CAD K 46) is not called Antagal in CAD; it is not used in the edition of Antagal in MSL 17.
AHw 421b transliterates the sign as SIG8, in agreement with the copy in CT 18 and 19 and with Borger Zeichenlexikon; it is not regarded as a specific lexical list in AHw.
Concordance, Etymology, History[1]
In lexical texts, the identity is:
- [x]-gi SIG8 = kak-ka-bu [CT 18, 49 ii 4; CT 19, 33, Text 80-7-19,307:6]; see [AHw 421b; CAD K 45-46].
??could it be a foreign term - check again??? 0 is it antagal???
