aτλe-^(d)

This word is attested only in one inscription that has been recently dated to the second half of the 6^th century BCE (Euler & Sasseville 2019a:139).

[D.S.]

This inscription has been edited more than once; cf. Gusmani 1964b:130f., Heubeck 1980a, Poetto 2006a, Euler & Sasseville 2019a:137f. The reading aτλụd by Gusmani 1964b:130f. was corrected to aτλẹd (Heubeck 1980a:52, Gusmani 1980a:38). In the most recent edition, Euler & Sasseville 2019a:137f. attempt to decipher more of the first line, which is still partly legible. The last visible word of the line is read as .^?ḍ^?ạc̣/ṭλ̣ẹḍ, which may be another instance of aτλẹd (except perhaps with preverb da-) found in the same inscription. However, the expected middle letter τ cannot be reconciled with the one of .^?ḍ^?ạc̣/ṭλ̣ẹḍ, whose reading must be either with c or t. Since c and τ can vacillate, it is likely that we are dealing with the same verb. In any case, more evidence would be welcome before confirming this lexical identification.

[D.S.]

No meaning has been suggested; cf. Gusmani 1980a:38, Heubeck 1980a:52, Poetto 2006a:1377, Euler & Sasseville 2019a:138. The fragmentary context hinders a reliable approach, but for a tentative translation of the inscription, see Euler & Sasseville 2019a:137-139.
