    Nir,

    It's just the opposite! As was noted in the exchange
 on this before, the origin of this word was the Sumerian
 expression ' big house'. Then it underwent internal
 devolpment in Sumerian, as presented in the exchange here.
           You can find it in the archive.

    Can we then agree with the paraphrase of the famous
 verse:

      Rabbot Mahshavot B'lev Ish Wa'atsat Hammillon
       (the dictionary)  Hi) Taqum?   Prov 19:21


     Uri  Hurwitz                          Great Neck

 hykl

the particular transformation this word suffered in sumer may be 
easily explained by non-semitic pressures.
