*Towards an Etymology of Iraq: Erratum*

* *
I apologize for the Internet-induced  error in the underlined portion:

*I'd strongly argue that the Arabic name (   عراق) is, in all  
likelihood, an
Arabic version of the Assyrian-com-biblical /Erech/ or the Sumerian / 
Uruk/.
*

Please, read as "the Assyrian-*cum*-biblical...."  Very many thank
