ilBu (a garment); Mari

only CDA

 

ilBu occurs in the texts from Mari as ěl-Bu-um (T.81 i 12), gúil-Bu (M.18222 ii’ 18’), túgil/ěl-Bu(-um) (T.525: 4; T.263: 11 et al., see Durand 2009, 47f.). In T.518 and T.519 ilBu corresponds to Sumerian TÚGḫá and therefor denotes simply “cloth” or “garment” (Durand 2009, 48). Durand 2009 considers the root of ilBu as ʾ/hlb/p and connects it with Arabic haliba “he had much hair; was very hairy” and ʾahlab “having much hair; very hairy” (Lane 2003/8, 2897f.). Hence his translation of ilBu as “tissu ŕ poils longs(?)” (Durand 2009, 48; 599).
