Pronounciation[edit]

Is the Ch in Chemosh pronounced in the Greek way (k) or the modern way (tʃ)? Just wondering. ~ Ghelæ the Curious^talk_contribs

It's "ch" as in "Bach" or "Chanukkah". Briangotts (Talk) (Contrib) 18:04, 7 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks, that's two new pronounciations learned, I thought Chanukkah was pronounced /tʃanu.kəɦ/, but I know Bach is /bak/. ~ Ghelæ ^talk_contribs 05:41, 8 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Bach and Chanukkah are in fact pronounced with a sound I _think_ is called the voiceless velar fricative, but I wouldn't swear to it without consulting a linguist. It's a sound that doesn't exist in English except in loanwords, and I believe it's what Briangotts was referring to. It's sort of like an H pronounced forcefully at the back of your mouth with your throat constricted. Elmo iscariot (talk) 21:31, 4 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Babylonian deities?[edit]

Should Babylonian deities be included in the "Ancient Near East Deities" infobox with Levantine, Mesopotamian and Egyptian deities? In looking which regions the Ancient Near East consisted of, the Babylonian Empire is included in there, but Succoth-benoth, as an apparent Babylonian is excluded. Not a Biblical scholar or paleotheologist; just ran across it in 2 Kings 17:29-33 on my first run through. 202.179.229.138 (talk) 08:40, 12 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Chemosh to Tsushima?[edit]

> The etymology of "Chemosh" is unknown. He is also known from Ebla as Kamish.

In Japan, Gods or rather, the perceived spritiual beings are called "Kami". Could there be any possible connection, considering the vast geographical distance across Siberia? Maybe the very word comes from primordial language? 82.131.128.129 (talk) 11:23, 11 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

All in all, probably not. PiCo (talk) 08:56, 23 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Largely a Biblical account[edit]

This article is a bit messy. The Biblical references should be moved into a section titled Biblical accounts. The highly-layered mythology of a different ethnic group should not be presented as facts, even if there isn’t much in the way of other sources. ⚜ Moilleadóir ✍ 06:12, 14 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
