SIBI-P1 H7262-02

Chief Cup-bearer

Morphological NotesMasculine singular proper noun (official title). Compound of רַב (chief) + שָׁקֵה (cup-bearer, from שקה). Functions as a personal designation for a specific Assyrian officer.
Rendering RationaleThe term רַבְשָׁקֵה combines רַב ("chief" or "great one") with a form derived from שקה ("to give drink"). As a masculine singular proper title (HNp), "Chief Cup-bearer" preserves both the hierarchical sense of רַב and the root idea of giving drink from שקה, while reflecting its singular masculine office-holder.
