‘(unknown)’1.1.1Transmission
Both forms occur in ritual fragments, one of them a MS copy from the Kuwattalla tradition, and another one from the Tauriša tradition (NS).

| nom./acc. sg. | ˹a˺-ar-ra-aš | KUB 35.15 ii! 3’ | (CTH 761, MS) |
| nom./acc. pl. | a-ar!-ra-ša | KBo 29.54, 4’ | (CTH 765, NS) |
Only when assuming a stem in -aš- can the two forms be assigned to the same stem (following Starke 1990a:106, CLL:25). Though economical, it must be kept in mind that a common paradigm does not find support in a semantic interpretation of the two items.
