Spelling of Term

Quoted text:

It was from the docking area—“kar” in Sumerian, “karum” in Babylonian—that the words for merchant derived: “damgar” in Sumerian, “tamkarum” in Babylonian, and “lugar” or “man of the quay” in Eblaic, the Semitic language spoken in northern Syria in the mid-third millennium BC.

Should “Eblaic” be “Eblaite” instead?
