First form means 'acropolis, rock-sanctuary, mountain house; peak, summit': HEG 235-237, Puh 287-289, GI 573. Other forms mean 'cliff, rock' CHD, HW, GI. With preceding Sumerographic determinative, NA[four] 'rock': hekur. Lacks declensional endings, suggesting loan status from Sumerian É.KUR 'house (of the) mountain' via Akkadian EKURRU 'name of a sanctuary' (Puh 289). The Hittite deity, Pirwa, has a hekur Pirwa: GI 694; 527-528. See also 12.330 'top'.
