Mandean אנכא, Assyrian anâku Lyon Sargontexte 92; see Lag Arm. Stud. § 103 compare Id. BN 175) — אֲנָ֑ךְ except once Amos 7:8 — plummet Amos 7:7,8 (twice in verse); ׳חוֺמַת א, i.e. a vertical wall vAmos 7:7.
אֲנָךְ m., Lat. plumbum, lead, i.q. עֹפֶרֶת; hence, for a plumb line; Amos 7:7, חוֹמַת אֲנָךְ “a wall of a plumb line,” i.e. erected perfectly true; verse, “I will set a plumb line to my people Israel,” i.e. I will destroy all things as if by rule and line; compare Isaiah 34:11; 2 Kings 21:13. This word seems to be primitive, or at least the Arab. verb أَنُكَ to be thick, troublesome, slow; fchwerfällig fehn, seems to be denom. from lead, prop. to be leaden. To this answers the Arab. آنُكُ, Syr. ܐܳܢܟܐܳ, Ethiop. transp. ናእክ፡ and even the Armen. աՆաԳ anak, all of which comprehend both black and white lead.
