Akkadian

ina - in, on, from, through (CAD 141; AHw. 380)

There is no reliable parallel for the Akkadian preposition ina (combining the locative and instrumental meanings exactly as its WS homologue does) anywhere in WS. Huehnergard (2006:16) is almost certainly correct to reject Testen’s comparison of ina with *min ‘from’ (Testen 1993b:10‒11), but the identification with the element ˀən- in the Geez prepositions ˀənbala ‘without’ and ˀənbayna ‘because of’ (CDG 27), to which Huehnergard adheres, is, in our view, also quite doubtful.
