Pronunciation

Jagersma proposes /haj/ as original pronunciation, which later changed to /Λ€eː/, with loss of initial /h/ and contraction of /aj/ to /eː/.

The initial /h/ would explain the Semitic reflection of the word 𒂍𒃲 (eβ‚‚-gal /⁠ēgal⁠/) in words like Ugaritic πŽ…πŽ‹πŽ (hkl /⁠hΓͺkal⁠/), Arabic Ω‡ΩŽΩŠΩ’ΩƒΩŽΩ„ (haykal) or Hebrew Χ”Φ΅Χ™Χ›ΦΈΧœ (hΓͺḡāl). Moreover, it is also supported by Ebla and Old Akkadian orthography, where the sign 𒂍 (eβ‚‚) had the phonetic values /ha/ and /αΈ₯a/.

As for the final /j/, some Auslaut must be posited to account for the common writing π’‚π’€€π’‰Œ (eβ‚‚-a-neβ‚‚ /⁠ē'ane⁠/) ("his/her house"), where the π’€€ (a) of the enclitic possessive pronoun π’€€π’‰Œ (a-neβ‚‚ /⁠ane⁠/, β€œhis/her”) is spelled out and not contracted, as it normally would be, with the preceding vowel. Compare with π’Š©π’†³π’‰Œ (gemeβ‚‚-neβ‚‚ /⁠gemΓͺne⁠/, β€œhis/her female slave”), with contraction of π’Š©π’†³ (gemeβ‚‚ /⁠geme⁠/)'s final vowel and the /a/ of π’€€π’‰Œ (a-neβ‚‚ /⁠ane⁠/).
