From Akkadian šuklulu; see AIOA 104.
The entry for this verb in DJPA contains four major errors: 1,3,4) "to dedicate" is incorrect as are both glosses of the T stem: That a targumic word renders a word that means X in the MT does not mean that the word in the targum means X; 2) "to adorn with a garland" is separately derived from the noun klyl "crown"; see s.v. mškll #2 adj.
