Research output: Contribution to journalArticlepeer-review

Abstract

 In the present article, an attempt is made to reveal a precise meaning of the word naxiru which, although referring to several animals, has not yet been defined. By analysing a number of arguments including the Georgian word naxiri (a herd) it is argued that this word in Assyrian sources denoted a sea cow.
