Both terms are hápax legómena, and only as a second meaning they designate vessels. ’Aḥ (Jer 36,22-23) apparently refers to an object or to a household heating equipment, either mobile or fixed. If this had actually been a vessel, one would think of a brazier, while if it had been an equipment, one would more aptly identify it as a tabûn. With regard to ’asûḵ. (II Re 4,2) the authors of the present article hold the view that this, in principle, designates the oil measure or dose required for a body unction. At a second stage and by metonymy or synecdoche, this word could have evolved to term the vessel holding that measure and even a vessel of a bigger capacity from which it could be drawn.
