1.1.4Meaning
Carruba 1972a:18 and Eichner 2010a:44 compare rightly the Palaic verb šapawina-(i) to the Hittite verb šapiyā(i)-(mi) ‘to scrub, to cleanse’. In spite of showing different stems, the root is surely the same. The asyndetic coordination of ḫuwarninai šapawinai ‘he sprinkles with water (and) scrubs’ lends further support to the etymological connection and thereby to the semantic interpretation of the Palaic verb. Carruba 1972a:18 assumes for the Hittite and Palaic verbs a meaning such as ‘to wash, to purify’ (followed by Oettinger 1979a:560); cf. CHD Š:205f.
