“In Ugarit, Saggar was associated with the deity ‘Iṯum, tentatively identified with the Mesopotamian Ishum. In standard cuneiforms texts the names were written logographically as dḪAR ù dGÌR, while in texts written in the local alphabetic script - as šgr w ‘iṯm, both meant to be read as Šaggar-wa-‘Iṯum.”
