[edit]Etymology
[edit]- From Elamite 𒁾𒉿𒊏 (tup-pi-ra),[1] from earlier Elamite 𒋼𒅁𒂟 (te-ep-pir2 /teppir, tipir/, “scribe, magistrate”), of disputed origin; deriving likely as an Elamite version of Akkadian 𒇽𒋛𒉿𒊒 (LU2si-pi-ru /sepīru/, “scribe”). Alternatively derived from Elamite 𒋼𒅁 (te-ep /tep-, tip-,/, “to form, to fashion? (bricks); to plow or furrow? (land); to engrave or inscribe, to write”), likely a result of phono-semantic matching, itself being a native variation and/or from Akkadian 𒁾 (DUB /ṭuppu/), from Sumerian 𒁾 (dub /dub/). Uncertain connections with Sumerian 𒁾𒊬 (dub-sar /dubsar/, “scribe”) and with Proto-Semitic *dVbur-/*ḏVbur- (“to speak, retell; to compose, to form, to make lines or layers; to lead and follow, to walk behind a plow”).
- By the way of an earlier [Term?] (/dipīwar/), from Old Persian *dipī-var-. Compare also [script needed] (dywʾn') and the oldest Elamite form 𒉈𒉿𒅕 (de3-pi-ir) attested around 2250 BC.
