†zallai-

HEG U–Z:631 mentions a verb “zallai-” with the meaning “(auseinander) ziehen”, which is not in fact attested; similarly Tischler 2008a:230 indicates a meaning “ziehen” (with question mark). Tischler 2016a:448 lists a Glossenkeilwort “zallai-” with the meaning “étaler, étendre” (with question mark) and assumes that the form za-al-li-it-ti (which is only attested in KUB 44.4+KBo 13.241 rev. 20) represents an instance of it. However, the form Tischler had in mind actually belongs to the Glossenkeilwort zalli-^(ti), see under the respective lemma. Since there is no other evidence for a Glossenkeilwort †zallai-, it is treated here as a ghost word.
