Nov.s] SOCIETYOF BIBLICAL ARCH.T.OLOGY. [1889.or glory of fire " ; shwang (shung), " to admit the light," " sunny."
All these termsappearto be cognates of izi, za in zabar, " bright,"
zal,zag'(?), on the one hand, andof shig (sheg), and dug, "to
melt,"on the other. De, " fire " (cp. di, nam&ru, " to shine " ;
di-nig= kuru, " a furnace "), seems to be a dialectic formof GI,
whichwe see in gibil or bilgi, "the fire-god,"and in gi = galu,
"to burn," "roast." Pil or bil corresponds to the Chinese series
pao(old sounds, po, bo), "to heat," " boil "; pao, "a scorching
heat";pao, "to burn," "scorch," "hot," "crackling" (of fire);
p'ao," to roast," " fry " ; p'ao, " to bake in the ashes " ; p'dng (old
sounds,p'eng,bang)," to boil " ; pit (in some dialectspi)," to dry
overa fire " ; ping, " bright like fire " ; " to burn." With di, de,
ch'ang(oldsounds,t'ung,dung),"thelightof the sun,"; "bright,"
"prosperous,"is distantly connected. (Nfe is, I think, a weakened
soundof gi, ge [ngi), andkum,an Assyrian value.)
