Phoenician Query: The God Adom

[hukkana]

So in the Itineraria Phoenicia, (well on the part that is accessible on Google Books) I found this, a refference to an apparently Phoenician God named "Adom".




books.google.cz/books?id=SLSzNfdcqfoC&pg=PA93&lpg=PA93&dq=%22Baalrom%22&source=bl&ots=fGOq_wxRkH&sig=1aF5KhGQ6PnZQV5nPpmzc-Jc_18&hl=cs&sa=X&ved=0CCIQ6AEwAGoVChMIxMeHqKbnxgIVRtUUCh1v-QIi#v=onepage&q=%22Baalrom%22&f=false


The Page came up while I was looking for a Phoenician name when checking over one of my various Onomastic lists, and it also helped me to find an interesting example, previously unknown to me, of another event from the Bible taken from non-Biblical sources.
Now the god Adom is reffered to here by a simple refference of "See Lipinski, Dieux et déesses p. 316-317". I've never heard of this god, but I don't have access to the text and I don't know French. This would be a great help to me, as these sort of obscure things are what I live for.

Thanks for your immensely informative post ! I've actuall run across an "Admu" being paired with Nergal, so this helps clear that up.

Sadly I don't speak the French language so I wouldn't be able to make any of that out for myself.

A bit of a sidenote, this is sort of a pet peeve of mine which I was just reminded of, but I'm always very annoyed when, especially in Onomastic lists or God Lists, the scholar in question just lists the names as they were written in an aplhabet without vowels, and even though there are ways to write these out in a more comprehensive way, they just write things like "qwsdkr" and "rmqws" and just assume everyone can get that. I get the full vocalisation (pardon if I use the wrong word here) they would use might not be 100 % accurate, but I still preffer educated people making those guesses instead of being asked to make those myself.

It's not a problem if the name consists of two components you can identify, such as a God name and a common suffix like Yati, Natan or Milk, but the works I found on Moabite names for example were all really terrible with this.

The point of that little tirade, aside from finally getting it off my chest is if I saw a god name listed as "ʽdm" I would have NO IDEA how to properly vocalise the whole thing.

On coming back to this thread, I find that the posts I was responding to seemed to have disappeared.

....And I don't remember the information I got, so this means I would basically have to solicit the forum for that information, again. So, if anyone has it, could they speak up please ?
