Document Details : Title: The Divine Name Chemosh Subtitle: A New Etymological Proposal Author(s): TOBOŁA, Łukasz Journal: Biblica Volume: 94 Issue: 4 Date: 2013 Pages: 573-575 DOI: 10.2143/BIB.94.4.3186167 Abstract : This short note discusses the possible etymology of the divine name Chemosh. It seems to be derived from the same root as the rare adjective kummusu, synonymous with the Akkadian divine epithet rašbu, 'awesome'. Consequently, the name of the god Chemosh can be interpreted as 'Redoubtable'. |
