Document Details : Title: Zur Schreibung des Wortes idigna 'Tigris' und der möglichen Bedeutung 'Reiherfluss' Author(s): KEETMAN, J. Journal: Bibliotheca Orientalis Volume: 73 Issue: 1-2 Date: 2016 Pages: 7-12 DOI: 10.2143/BIOR.73.1.3157119 Abstract : The sign of the Sumerian word for Tigris idigna was also used for writing the name of a bird. It is argued, that this bird may have been the heron, later written with a combination of signs as igirámušen in Sumerian. The name of the river may have been originally /idigira/ as attested in Ebla, for which a meaning 'river (i7-d) of the heron (igira)' fits well with attested naming practices, while other suggested etymologies for the name can be shown as less probable.
