"libittum" meaning in Akkadian

See libittum in All languages combined, or Wiktionary

Noun

IPA: /liˈbit.tum/ (note: Old Babylonian) Forms: libitti [construct], libnātum [plural]
Etymology: From a reconstructed Proto-Semitic *labin(a)t (“brick”); diffusing to other Semitic languages via the Akkadian term seems difficult to account and there has been no compelling reason to assume the Akkadian is the original source. More distantly a possible connection to Proto-Semitic *laban- (“dairy”) with compared developed verbal senses, to strain milk or yogurt of its whey, to thicken or coagulate, to solidify, to dry out, to become firm or solid pieces; hence the connection to drying and solidifying of bricks.
