[Ian] What have you found in the table [ofNations] from the 12th
century?

[JD Safren] Aram.

[Ian] While not disputing the source you indicate, how did the "n" get
in the
name? [Askenaz, written A$.GU.ZA in cuneiform]

[JDSafren] Dissimilation. Madda > Manda (as in Mandaic).

[Ian] Your argument regarding Ur of the Chaldeans goes against the
general tendency, ie it is
in the category of the exception.

[JDSafren] What makes it exceptional? Many Americans remember exaclty
where their ancestors came from, even if it may have been before the
Revolutionary War.
Yours,
Jonathan
