semantic identification tentative at best, a connection with Akk. ḫulmiṭṭu ‘a snake or lizard’ is rather uncertain, particularly in view of the phonological difference (cf.Pardee 2000: 646 and SED II No. 99) (Kogan 2015: 362)
Ugr. ḫmr is attested twice (1.3 i 16 and 1.23:6), in the latter passage in the peculiar combination ḫmr yn ‘sparkling wine’ (DUL 396), paralleled by ḥmr yn in Phoenician (DNWSI 383).
