nom./acc. sg. n. [na-nu-un-tar-ri-i]a-an-za KUB 35.53, 12’ (CTH 762, MS)

1.1.3Graphic Features

Checked against the photographs in the Mainzer Fotoarchiv. – Starke 1985b:64 (and Starke 1990a:177) restores the form after a parallel in KUB 35.54 iii 2-4 parattan[za] puwatilza [n]anuntarriš[a] irhuwašša, which differs regarding its stem formation, but is probably lexically identical (accepted in CLL:156, implicit also in EDHIL:479, Oettinger 2012b:207).

[E.R.]

1.1.4Meaning

If the restoration is correct, the stem nanuntarri(ya)- should mean the same as the model of its restoration nanuntarri(t)- ‘present’ and thus be a substantivization with an abstract meaning of the putative -i(ya)- adjective ‘present’.

[E.R.]

1.1.5Stem

The ending -i]yanza combined with an abstract meaning points to a substantivized neuter form of an adjective in -i(ya)- (see under Meaning). The stem is a presupposition for the derivation of nanuntarriyal(i)- ‘present’ and nanuntarri(t)- ‘present’.
