| unknown | a-at-ti | KUB 55.38 iii 16’ | (CTH 772, NS) |
The idea of interpreting a-at-ti at KUB 55.38 iii 16’ as a 2sg. imp. act. the verb atti(ya)- is discussed under nita, which occurs in the same passage. The context being largely obscure, admittedly, any proposalcan hardly be more than guesswork. Another suggestion for alleged a-at-ti at KBo 4.11, 43 (following Starke 1985b:341) comes from Sasseville 2021a:146 n. 24, who considers it a non-lenited allomorph of the reflexive pronoun -ti, but the form has to be read a-la-ti, instead. – Cf. also CLuw. atta-.

1.1.3Graphic Features
Checked against the photographs in the Mainzer Fotoarchiv. – The horizontal wedges under the initial a- sign at KUB 55.38 iii 16’ noticed by Starke 1985b:341 n. 171 are probably the remains of an erased sign <at>, written when the scribe omitted the plene <a> in a first attempt.
