So when I find a triliteral root in Semitic languages meaning 'to rejoice' Aramaic hd', Ugaritic ḫdw, Akkadian ḫdū, which in its substantivized form becomes Akkadian muḫaddū 'causing joy', I wonder a little if we have another instance of prehistorical crosscultural contact that's been blurred by internal Pre-IE changes like Syncope since the time of its borrowing.
