ḫuwallari(ya)-

The three extant attestations are all found in the Zarpiya ritual (from MS onwards).

Güterbock 1956a:129 (cf. also HW 2nd ed.:807) analyzed the forms in -i as neuter nom./acc. singulars. However, it is much more likely that the naming construction with ŠUM and ŠUM-ŠU triggered the endingless form (Melchert, pers. comm.), since borrowed Luwian common gender nouns are not normally transferred to neuter i-stems in Hittite.

Güterbock 1956a:129 was the first scholar to analyze the form ḫuwallarī as the name of a medical mixture. The context is exceptionally informative: ^(15’)ḫa-an-te-ez-zi-ia-az ^(16’)[(ke-e-ez-za ke)]-ez-zi-ia wa-aš-ši ḫu-wa-al-la-ri-i ŠUM-ŠU ^(17’)[(ḫa-ri)]-⸢e⸣-ez-zi “In front, on this side and that side, he burrows a medicine, ḫuwallarī (is) its name” (HT 1 i 15’-17’ with dupl. KUB 9.31 i 22.24). His interpretation is followed in HEG A-K:325: eine Ingredienz oder Medizin(?), Haas 2003a:111, Ünal 2007a: 245: a kind of drug, HW 2nd ed.:807: eine medizinische Ingredienz(?).Outdated HW:78 and Schwartz 1938a:347; no semantic assignment in Rosenkranz 1952a:16, DLL:49, CLL:79, Görke 2015a.

[E.R.]

Usually, the word is quoted as an i-stem (for references, see under Meaning). However, the plene spelling of the final -i in a stem form (HT 1 i 16’) is noteworthy. In analogy with the frequent plene spellings in the strong case forms of -i(ya)- adjectives (-Ci-i-iš/n), it is surmised here that an -i(ya)- adjective is also underlying in the stem form ḫu-wa-al-la-ri-i. Thus, the suffix chain ends in -r(i)- plus -i(ya)- (preceded by radical -ll- or suffixal -alla/i-).

[E.R.]

The cognate lexeme ḫūwallar(i)- points to a Luwian borrowing of ḫuwallari(ya)- into Hittite. It is also significant that the attestations come up in the Zarpiya ritual (Rosenkranz 1952a:16), which is heavily interspersed with Luwianisms, and that the suffixes -r(i)- and -i(ya)- (and possibly -alla/i-) are productive formants in Luwian. Therefore, a Luwian origin is assumed not only in Rosenkranz 1952a:16, but also DLL:49, CLL:79, HEG A-K:325, Haas 2003a:112 n. 508, Ünal 2007a: 245, HW 2nd ed.:807.
