‘to build a precinct’

1.1.1Transmission

This lexeme is found once in the poetical inscription engraved on the lion sarcophagus of Antiphellos dated on stylistic grounds to the beginning of the 4th century BCE (Zahle 1979a:318, Mühlbauer 2007a:91).

1.1.3Meaning

As pointed out by Schürr 2005a:149, the verb qla- is an obvious derivative of the noun qla- (or qala-) c. ‘precinct’. In comparison to the derivation prñnawa- c. ‘grave-house’ → prñnawa-(ti) ‘to build a grave-house’, the denominative qla-(ti) would mean ‘to build a precinct’. For an overview of outdated hypotheses see Neumann 2007a:304.

[D.S.]

1.1.4Stem

The denominative verb qla-(ti) is interpreted here as a factitive in -a-(ti) based on the parallel formation prñnawa-(ti).

[D.S.]
