Notes

Kogan 2025, 3–4 traces Akk. dawdû to *tawdium (> *dawdium by assimilation), a taPRīS of *wdy 'to cast, to eject', originally "expelling, throwing down (the enemy)"; since the form breaks Akkadian phonology and derivation (*tādûm or tūdûm expected), he takes it as an early, partly adapted WS loanword.
