Commentary
KH 5 .1 A-DA-KI-SI-KA · A-RA-U-DA ·, the heading over WI-SA-SA-NE CYP+E 2, VINb+WI 2 (GORILA III 25): the party, then its city, Arwad. A-DA-KI Ḫadki, the theophoric element ḥadk- of Mari names, which Huffmon, after Albright, sets beside Adgi, a Mari-area name of Adad (Huffmon 1965, 190–191); turūmnā-ḫadki ‘Ḫadki shall exalt us’ (ARM 16.1; Buck 2018, 351); ḫ unwritten as Mari Mu-tu-ad-ki-im writes it beside Mu-tu-ḫa-ad-ki (ARM II 122.7, IV 80.10′; Huffmon 1965, 53); DA for d. SI-KA šiqā ‘who gives drink’, √š-q-y, as SI-KA on IO Za 6, the i-noun of Ebla /šiḳītum/ ‘irrigation’ (Kogan 2025, 8–9; PS *šVḳ-): the storm god who waters. Rival: šikā (√š-k-n), the HT nodule word, ‘Ḫadki is (my) dwelling’. Weak point: Ḫadki is attested only in Mari texts. One attestation.
