Description
Summary:The Ugaritic word ḫrd designated a type of military personnel in administrative documents, and was also apparently adopted as a title by a prince of Ugarit. The word is also found in Akkadian as ḫuradi/e and in Urartean as ḫuradi/e. It is argued that ḫrd/ḫuradi/e is non-Semitic, but originally a Hurrian term that, along with other Hurrian military terms, entered both Akkadian and Ugaritic before the Amarna Age.
