## In Linear A

- [SA-\*305-MI](<https://linear-a.ai/lexicon/SA-*305-MI/index.md>) (šadmi): terrace, terraced field (a counted entry); rival the place Šdmy

## Notes

HALOT 1422 derives the noun from a root šdm of lost meaning, not from šd + mt 'field of death'; DULAT 799 calls the šd + mt etymology uncertain.

## Reflexes: Northwest Semitic

- Ugaritic: šdmt 1 (DULAT 799) (gloss withheld)
- Hebrew: שְׁדֵמָה, pl. שַׁדְמוֹת 1, 2 (HALOT 1422–1423) (gloss withheld)
