Walter, did you know that "Tamuz" is thge name of one of the months of the 
Jewish calendar? In fact, all other names are also Akkadian. Interesting that 
 ancient Yahweh worshippers , possibly post-exilic, didn't mind adopting a 
name of  a pagan deity fo their month!

There were earlier names for months in the HB : the ordinal ones, such as the 
"first month' etc, and another incommplete set such as "the month of the 
spring" and so forth.

The earliest extant Heb. or Canaanite calendar division into units of two 
months each may be that of the Gezer Calendar, C. 10th cenury BCE.            
                                 

Best,  Uri

the god Tammuz that apostate Jewish women mourned in the Jerusalem Temple

following url if you've _never_ "seen" Tammuz (also called Dumuzi, which
means according to some scholars "righteous son.").
