520 | |a The use of the notation kbd with numerals in Ugaritic economic texts, where it is typically translated total' or plus', appears to be unique among the counting systems of the Semitic languages. Most scholars trace these meanings to the common Semitic root kbd to be heavy', though other derivations have also been suggested. In this article, I propose a new analysis of kbd based on the Semitic root bdd to be separate, isolated'. This root is attested in nominal forms in multiple Semitic languages; and in some, including Ugaritic, it can be combined with prepositions to convey an adverbial sense. Ultimately, the proper analysis of the term kbd in Ugaritic economic texts has significant implications for understanding the wider semantic range of the Semitic roots kbd and bdd. | ||
