2. Reconstruction
2.1Reconstruction ‘fat, tallow’
The equation between Pal. appuzzi- and Hittite appuzzi- allows for the reconstruction of a Proto-Anatolian formation *-ti̯o-, i.e. *(h1)opu-ti̯o-, which was substantivized in the neuter in Hittite, but in the common gender in Palaic. A Hurrian origin as presumed in HW 2nd ed. A:193 is doubtful (thus also HED A:102f.); cf. Richter 2012a:41.
