Packet 9: Bonus 11

Onomastic influence from this peninsula is reflected by a bronze kettle found in Guldam, featuring a Sabaic (“suh-BAY-ick”) inscription mentioning the clansman Tubba‘karib. For 10 points each:
[10e] Name this large peninsula home to ancient Ma‘īn (“mah-EEN”) and Qataban. In the 6th century, Kaleb of Aksum invaded the Himyarite Kingdom on this peninsula in response to Christian persecutions.
ANSWER: Arabian Peninsula [or hibh al-jazīra al-‘arabiyya, or jazīrat al-‘arab; accept South Arabia]
[10h] Architecture and inscriptions at this temple site in Tigray attest to Sabaic acculturation. This site was likely the capital of the pre-Aksumite D‘MT (“duh-mut”) polity.
ANSWER: Yeha [or yiḥa or ḥw or yḥ]
[10m] Sabaic influence is also evidenced at Yeha by the title mukarrib, a “federator” chosen from holders of another title derived from this root. Later South Arabian rulers instead used a word for “king” derived from this triliteral Semitic root.
ANSWER: mlk [or M-L-K or mēm-lām-kāf or mēm-lāmed-kāph; accept malik or milk or variants with the same consonants]
