Var. s̀s̀w. Cf. sswt ‘mare’. Of uncertain origin (cf. SED II No. 199), but, contra Watson 2007: 70, certainly not an Akkadism in Ugaritic (Kogan 2015: 359).
quite uncertain (cf. Pardee 1997: 350), but even if ša-a-i ‘falcon, hawk’ in the Emar lexical list (Pentiuc 2001: 165) is thought to be related, it is by no means certain that the Emar word belongs to the Akkadian rather than local WS lexical stratum.
