*nabal- - fire (Fronzaroli 1971: 625, 636, 641–642; Kogan 2011: 195)

Akkadian

nablu - flame (CAD N₁ 25, AHw. 698)

Ugaritic

nblˀat - flame (DUL 618, Watson 2007: 97)

If indeed related to Akk. nablu ‘flame’, must be also connected with Gez. nabal ‘flame’ (CDG 383), so the Ugaritic-Akkadian isogloss is not exclusive. The unexpected glottal stop in Ugaritic remains, as before, enigmatic (Kogan 2015: 357).
