PHOENICIAN ANIMAL NAMES

Giuseppe Minunno

Abstract


The aim of this paper is to provide a repertoire of the currently identifiable zoonyms in the Phoenician language.
The available data are collected, presented, and analysed. Several animal names are directly mentioned in Phoenician
inscriptions, but they also are attested as constituting elements of personal names, names of plant and names of
place. Some texts by classical authors are also discussed.

Keywords: Zoonyms; Phoenician Language; Phoenician Vocabulary; Names of Animal.
