He very kindly presented me to the two stranger ladies, and the gentleman, and them to me: and Sir Simon, who was at cards, rose from table, and saluted me: Adad! madam, said he, I'm glad to see you here. What, it seems you have been a prisoner! But I see by your eyes, my sweet culprit, added he, and your complexion, you have had sour sauce to your sweet meat.
Quite recently the proposition has been made that the real name of the deity was Immeru. The material at hand is not sufficient for deciding the question. Besides Immeru, Adad, and Ramman, the deity was also known as Mer connected apparently with Immeru. So much is certain, that Ramman appears to have been the name currently used in Assyria for this god.
If so be as you spank it away at that rate, adad, I can't continue in tow we must cast off the rope, or 'ware timbers.
About two hours afterwards, as the sun became oppressive, we unloaded in a water-course, called by my companions Adad or the Acacia Gum : the distance was about twenty-five miles, and the direction S. W. 225o of Kuranyali.
Adad! for my own part, brother, I'm resolved as how to cruise a bit in the way of an arrant if so be as I can't at once be commander, mayhap I may be bore upon the books as a petty officer or the like, d'ye see." "Now, the Lord forbid!" cried Clarke, with tears in his eyes, "I'd rather see you dead than brought to such a dilemma."
The ideograph Im with which the name is written designates the god as the power presiding over storms; and while it is certain that, in Assyria at least, the god was known as Ramman, which means 'the thunderer, it is possible that this was an epithet given to the god, and not his real or his oldest name. Professor Oppert is of the opinion that Adad represents the oldest name of the god.
Here the captain interposing, "Nay, brother," said he, "you are bound to pray for this here gentleman as your sheet-anchor; for, if so be as he had not cleared your stowage of the water you had taken in at your upper works, and lightened your veins, d'ye see, by taking away some of your blood, adad! you had driven before the gale, and never been brought up in this world again, d'ye see."
To Adad 225o 25 4. To Damal 205o 11 5. To El Arno 190o 11 6. To Jiyaf 202o 10 7. To Aububah 245o 21 9. To Koralay 165o 25 10. To Harar 260o 65 111 miles. Total statute miles 202
Bletson a true-blue Commonwealth's man, one of Harrison's Rota Club, with his noddle full of new fangled notions about government, the clearest object of which is to establish the tail upon the head; a fellow who leaves you the statutes and law of old England, to prate of Rome and Greece sees the Areopagus in Westminster-Hall, and takes old Noll for a Roman consul Adad, he is like to prove a dictator amongst them instead.
The principal gum is the Adad, or Acacia Arabica: foreign merchants purchase it for about half a dollar per Farasilah of twenty pounds: cow's and sheep's butter may fetch a dollar's worth of cloth for the measure of thirty-two pounds.
