# A-DA-\*21F-RI (ha-dāhari) > the Charioteer (PN, √d-h-r 'dash, gallop'; \*21F = ha) A Linear A word in the Linear A Lexicon. The reading is a proposal and carries its tier. - Reading: ha-dāhari - Confidence: Candidate. A comparison worth testing; the evidence is thin or the word is rare. - Root: [\*dVhVr-]() 'dash, gallop' - Kind: Personal name - Language: Semitic - Signs: A (a) · DA (da) · \*21F · RI (ri) ## Compared forms - Hebrew: *dāhar* — dāhar 'to dash, gallop' (of a horse), Nah 3:2; dahărâ 'galloping', Judg 5:22 (HALOT 214) - Arabic: *dahara VII* — dahara VII 'to hurry' (HALOT 214) - Egyptian: *twhr* — twhr '(foreign) warrior' (AED lemma 173060; Wb 5, 322.10–14), a loan of Canaanite dhr, 'charioteer' (HALOT 214) ## Attestations - [KH 92](): A-DA-\*21F-RI KU-NI-TE 10\[ ## Commentary KH 92 .1 A-DA-*21F-RI · KU-NI-TE 10[, a personal name at the head of an allocation list. ha-dāhari 'the Charioteer': Hebrew dāhar 'to dash, gallop' of a horse (Nah 3:2), dahărâ 'galloping' (Judg 5:22; HALOT 214). Egypt borrowed the word for the chariot warrior, twhr (AED lemma 173060). Albright's Canaanite source of Eg. tuhira 'charioteer' is *dōhar < *dāhar (HALOT 214), the a that *21F writes. Rival: Arabic dahr 'time, fate, epoch', which has no cognate of that sense in Hebrew, Ugaritic or Akkadian. A- is the article on the title, as in Heb. Hallôḥēš (Neh 3:12) and Hassōperet (Ezra 2:55). Weak point: no Semitic name from the root is attested. One attestation. ## In the onomasticon - [A-DA-\*21F-RI](): Personal name, Semitic ## References - Reading: di Mino - HALOT: Koehler, Ludwig; Baumgartner, Walter; Stamm, Johann Jakob; Richardson, M.
