1.1.4Meaning
The fragmentary state of the context does not help to elucidate the meaning of waḫri-(ti). Only the assumption that the word is a denominal verb derived from waḫra- ‘woe’ vel sim. (DLL:105, CLL:249, HEG U-Z:202, Sasseville 2021a:153 n. 32) could lead to a tentative translation as ‘to wail’ (HHw:s.v.), ‘to suffer from woe’ or ‘to afflict (someone) with woe’, but there is no evidence that would permit to decide between the two or to confirm the underlying analysis. Therefore, no translation is offered here.

1.1.5Stem
The structure of the verb together with its ending in -itti proves that it is a denominal verb in -i-(ti), while waḫra- ‘woe’ vel sim. is a likely candidate for its base (for references see under Meaning).
