†/war(ru)wattar/-t(ta)n-

Due to the similarity of the Cuneiform signs LA and AT, the forms cited under the Lemma /war(ru)walan(a)-n. ‘seed, progeny’ (KUB 21.37, 13’ ˹wa˺-ar-ru-wa-la-˹na˺-aš, KBo 4.10 rev. 22, 24 wa-ar-wa-la-ni, KBo 4.10 rev. 25 wa-ar-wa-la-na-an-te-eš) were read as /wa-ar-(ru-)wa-at-n° and attributed to a heteroclitic stem /warwattar/-t(ta)n- (van Brock 1962a:105, followed in Starke 1990a:479-484, van den Hout 1995a:20 and 26, Oettinger 1995b:49). However, after the new readings, †/war(ru)wattar/-t(ta)n- is a ghost word.
