The sole attestation of this verb occurs in the NS Lallupiya tablet of the Ištanuwa ritual.

[E.R.]

2./3sg. pret. ind. act.

da-it-ta

KUB 25.37 ii 34’

(CTH 771, NS)

The preceding clause contains the verb form kaluttanita, a 2sg. or 3sg. pret. act., which cannot be distinguished as both share the same form.

Checked against the photographs in the Mainzer Fotoarchiv.

[E.R.]

The clause with an accusative object tarḫuntaššinza(=ti) [              ]-winza shows that dai- is a transitive verb. Note also the use of the reflexive particle =ti. However, the context is barely understood and does not help to elucidate its meaning (no translation offered in DLL:89, CLL:201, HHw:s.v.).

[E.R.]

Although not provable without an etymology, its phonological shape strongly suggests a classification of dai- as a root verb.
