*d^hh₁sk̑ā-

This lexeme is attested in the trilingual inscription of the Letoon dated to 337 BCE (Wagner 2011a:156 with further literature) as well as in a decree that cannot yet be dated with absolute certainty.

In the trilingual inscription the word zã refers to Greek ἀγρόν ‘field’, which is part of the temene given by the city to the cult (not explicitly given in Laroche 1979c:66). Therefore, za- can be translated in this context as ‘allotment’ (Meriggi 1980a:325). Melchert 1994a:314 adds the meaning ‘portion, share’ from an etymological perspective (followed by Hajnal 1994a:143, Hajnal 1995a:154, DLL:87, Melchert 2018b ‘plot’). In TL 65.17, the collective formation za is the direct object of astti ‘to make (repeatedly)’ in a context pertaining to the political actions between Xeziga and the Lycian cities.

For a summary of outdated hypotheses, see Neumann 2007a:427f. Completely false (using outdated data) is the analysis by Gehrisch 2018a:117, 194 as a relative (or demonstrative) pronoun.

LW 44a.2 (Magnesia on Mt. Sipylos)

The reading follows Buckler 1924a:62, the upper part of the inscription is partly erased, which makes it impossible to verify the readings with any degree of certainty.

[D.S.]

No interpretation of cak had been suggested so far (Gusmani 1964a:88). Oscar Billing (pers. comm.) suggests separating the enclitic =k from the noun ca, which he proposes etymologically to connect to the factitive verb ca-^(t) ‘to give a share, make a dedication’. Therefore, the Lyd. noun ca- c. would match Lyc. za- c. ‘share, allotment’ (also inflecting as a collective, see above). This interpretation allows for a better understanding of the syntax, especially since the word lawl, assumed here to be part of the same clause, is a genitival adjective in -l(i)- with the zero-ending for nominative plurals and neuter plurals/collectives, i.e. šatis=ụm c̣a=k trfnod lawl (LW 44a.2-3) ‘He trfnod to me the šatis and the lawl shares.’; see also under šat(i)-.

For Lyd. ca-, we posit a common gender a-stem in analogy to the Lycian noun za- c.
