umantiyala-
1.1.1Transmission
Ünal 2007a:757 (cf. Ünal 2016a:563) lists a Glossenkeilwort umantiyala- (without attestation). No such word is attested or listed in any of the other Luwian or Hittite dictionaries, but since the indicated meaning is ‘ear canal’ (with question mark), the lemma is probably based on a mistake for
dumantiyala- (cf. under
dumantiyal- or
dumantiyala-), which is also listed in Ünal 2007a:734 (cf. Ünal 2016a:547) as Glossenkeilwort dumantiyal- with the similar meaning ‘ear’, ‘Gehörgang, Ohr’. The assumed Glossenkeilwort †
umantiyala- is therefore not attested and hence treated as a ghost word here.
