| 3sg. pret. ind. act. | /an(n)iyatta/ | á-ni-˹i(a)˺-ta | ŞARAGA, §3 (Karkamiš) |
The interpretation of the attestation in ŞARAGA, §3 follows Sasseville & Yakubovich 2016a:32f. against an earlier, different reading of the line by Poetto 2010c:296f.

1.1.3Graphic Features
1.1.3.1Phonological Interpretation
Due to the existence of a cognate in CLuw. ānni(ya)-(di) ‘to carry out, treat’, Note that the cognate is probably not exact, as the CLuw. form belongs to a different verbal stem class; cf. the discussion of the stem below. the phonological interpretation of this verb is deemed secure despite just a single attestation thus far, see Sasseville & Yakubovich 2016a:34. The HLuw. spelling system cannot convey whether the nasal is geminate, and since the word does not match exactly with CLuw. ānni(ya)-(di) ‘to carry out, treat’, the spelling of the latter cannot be taken as proof.
[AH.B.]
1.1.4Meaning
The meaning is assigned tentatively by Sasseville & Yakubovich 2016a:33f., based on etymological as well as contextual considerations, but the scholars note that further textual evidence is needed for a secure interpretation. Doubtlessly part of the word family around /a(ya)-(di)/ ‘to make’, the verb is related in some way to Hittite aniye/a-(mi), whose semantic range includes the meaning ‘to turn out, produce, procure’. The only HLuw. attestation to date is found in ŞARAGA, §3: IUSTITIA-ni-˹sa˺ Iá-lá/í-mu-sá (DEUS)sà-ta (“BOS”)u-wa/i-na á-ni-˹i(a)˺-ta, approx. /tarrawannis Alamus Santa uwin an(n)iyatta/, meaning ‘Loyal Alamu procured (?) a bull for (the god) Santa, (and Sahassi, his son, slaughtered it)’ (cf. Sasseville & Yakubovich 2016a:33).
[AH.B.]
1.1.5Stem
The word derives from the verb /a(ya)-(di)/ ‘to do, make’ and looks very similar to CLuw. ānni(ya)-(di) ‘to carry out, treat’, For whose stem class see Sasseville 2021a:321f. but it very likely belongs to a different verbal stem class, viz. the non-lenited verbs. Sasseville & Yakubovich 2016a:34 put forward some hypotheses to account for this discrepancy: they suggest treating it either as a denominative verb derived from a non-attested action noun */aniya-/ or as a loanword form Hittite aniye/a-(mi) (for details of which see Yakubovich 2010b).
