Neobsahuje levantetthbf
What recent proposals challenge traditional views on Enlil's etymology?Recent proposals by P. Steinkeller and P. Michalowski suggest a Semitic origin for Enlil, interpreting it as *il-il∞ meaning 'god of (all) the gods'. This contrasts sharply with the traditional Sumerian etymology linking Enlil to atmospheric phenomena.How does the An=Anum list inform our understanding of Enlil's character?The An=Anum list reveals that Enlil lacks specific epithets related to atmospheric phenomena, unlike other storm deities. This suggests his character is more universal, aligning him with deities like Dagan and Kumarbi.What does the etymology of Enlil suggest about ancient Sumerian beliefs?The proposed Semitic etymology of Enlil as 'God of the gods' indicates a significant theological development in Sumerian religion. It reflects the complex interactions and syncretisms between Sumerian and Semitic cultures.
