| Summary: | The aim of this article is to study the verb valency of the Sumerian expression nir ĝal 2 . The attestations point to two different meanings that are related to different arguments. It is suggested that the basic meaning of nir ĝal 2 is „to give off an aura of authority; show authority“. The comitative argument indicates thanks to whom, the ablative argument by means of what someone shows authority. The meaning „to trust“ would result from a valency expansion, which can be traced to at least the beginning of the second millennium and could have been influenced by the construction of the Akkadian verb takālu „to trust“. The object of trust is expressed by means of the terminative (things) and dative (persons) arguments. The locative is mostly used as a peripheral argument expressing the place or situation in which someone shows authority. |
