= Ḫammā᾽u "Rebel." The name occurs only in the circular diagram in [TCL 6, 13 i; Rochberg-Halton 1987b, 224-226]. It appears to be an epithet of Mars, similar in meaning to other similar epithets, cf. [Reynolds 1998]; this is also evidenced by its position in the diagram.

| = Ḫammā᾽u «Мятежник». Название встречается только в круглой диаграмме в [TCL 6, 13 i; Rochberg-Halton 1987b, 224–226]. По-видимому, это эпитет Марса, по своему смыслу близкий другим подобным эпитетам, см. [Reynolds 1998]; об этом же свидетельствует его расположение в диаграмме. | Example |
