qrdsoλ

Hapax in an official inscription from Kaunos of unknown date (cf. Adiego 2007a:301)

[Zs.S.]

nom.-acc. pl.

qrdsoλš

C.Ka 2, 8

The attestation follows Adiego 2007a:407, checked against the photograph in Frei & Marek 2000a:86. Its segmentation is guaranteed by both the attestation of its base word qrds and its morphology (the suffix -oλ and the ending -š).

[Zs.S.]

There is a general and justified agreement that qrdsoλ is an -oλ-derivative of qrds (Blümel & Adiego 1993a:94; Melchert 1998c:35; Adiego 2007a:407; Simon 2011b:542; while Frei & Marek 2000a:107 duly reported this interpretation, they added [Frei & Marek 2000a:115] that “[z]u den Wiederholungen von qrds (1 und 8) [this is not a “Wiederholung”, as per above ‒ Zs.S.] (…) läßt sich bis auf weiteres nichts Erhellendes sagen”, literally repeated in Marek 2006a:123). Since qrds means approximately ‘belonging to city, town’ (see s.v.), the literal meaning of qrdsoλ must be ‘pertaining to urban’, but its exact meaning (perhaps the direct object of a verb ait ‘to make, do’, see s.v. and Melchert 1998c:35; Adiego 1998b:22, Adiego 2007a:408) cannot be determined due to its opaque passage.
