‘(ghost word)’

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 doppelter Glossenkeildumantiyala- (cf. under doppelter Glossenkeildumantiyal- or doppelter Glossenkeildumantiyala-), 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 doppelter Glossenkeilumantiyala- is therefore not attested and hence treated as a ghost word here.
