## Notes

PS \*prk 'to be dislocated' (SEDonline 1744). SEDonline 1744 also sets here Akk. parāku 'to lie across' (CAD P 153, AHw 828) and Ebl. ba-la-gú-um /paRākum/ 'to be hostile' (VE 851, Kogan–Krebernik 2021b: 695); EDA I 260–261 (◊P0446) finds Arb. frk (VII) and Jib. fɔ́trək 'to be dislocated' semantically more appealing for parāku than Arm. prk and Arb. frk 'to break, to rub', and glosses the Eblaite verb 'to lie across'. Cf. 1035 \*pVruk- 'grind, spread'.
