1.1.4Meaning ‘little leg/hoof bread’
The word is mentioned in a list of bread types and is itself classified as a bread type by the determinative NINDA. Additionally, the more recent dictionaries consider the possibility that partann(i)- is a diminutive of parta(/i)- ‘leg(?), hoof(?)’ implying a meaning ‘little leg/foot/hoof bread’ vel sim. (CLL:171, CHD P:198, HEG P:506; still without analysis DLL:80 and semantically outdated Hoffner 1974a:176). While accepting the diminutive suffix, HED PA:177 starts from a meaning ‘side, part’ for a stem parta- and translates ‘part loaf, loaflet?’. The decision depends on the meaning assigned to the base, for which an interpretation as ‘leg(?), hoof(?)’ is accepted here (see under Lemma).

1.1.6Origin
The Luwian origin has been recognized since DLL:80 and Meriggi 1962a:106. It can be safely assumed on account of the Luwian suffix -ann(i)- and the Luwian nom. pl. ending -nzi. Also, the remainder of the text is interspersed with Luwianisms (Hutter 2003a:246f).
