*Hudā-

1. /hudarl(i)-/
2. /hudarl(i)-/
3. /hudarli(ya)-/
4. /hudarlahid-/(?)
5. /hudarlatt(i)-/

The noun is found with gloss wedges only in the NS Šaušgamuwa treaty. Without gloss wedges, it occurs from MS texts onwards, mostly in instructions, but possibly also in a NS ritual.

For the interpretation of ḫu-u-ta-aš at KUB 23.1 iv 20, iv 21 as nom. sg. (contra Sommer 1932a:324f. n. 1: gen. sg.), see Otten & Kühne 1971a:47f. – Contra Starke 1990a:362 n. 1292 and CLL:78, ](-)ḫu-u-ta-an at KUB 35.92 obv. 27’ and ḫu-u-ta-an ibid. obv. 30’ do not belong here (cf. Fuscagni 2011-2016a and HW 2nd ed. Ḫ:784f. adding also the fragmentary attestations at ibid. obv. 38’ and 41’). – Following Fuscagni 2013b, ḫu-u-da-an-za at KBo 19.137 i 7’ (also cited in Starke 1990a:362 n. 1292) likewise denotes a concrete object. – The assignment of ḫu-u-da(=) at KBo 22.105 obv. 9’ is less than assured (HW 2nd ed.Ḫ:785), as is ]-x(-)ḫu-da-aš ibid. obv. 3’. – For ḫu-u-da-x ‘(an ornament)’ KUB 29.35 iii^? 13’, see Ünal 2007a:242 and most recently HW 2nd ed. Ḫ:785.

The semantic interpretation of the stem as ‘haste’ goes back to Otten & Kühne 1971a:16f., 47. It is based on the semantic correspondence between nu ḫu-u-ma-an-za ḫu-u-da ḫar-du “and everyone shall make haste” (KUB 21.47 + KUB 23.82 Vs. 18) and ḫūmanza nuntar(r)ieddu (...), which means the same. Additional confirmation comes from the obvious etymological link with the Hittite adverb ḫūdāk ‘instantly, in a hurry’ (already seen by Sommer 1932a:324f., who renders ḫūda- as ‘Behendigkeit, Schlagfertigkeit, kriegerische Bereitschaft’, followed tentatively in HW:78; no translation in DLL:49). The contingent translations have entered the dictionaries, cf. CLL:78 (‘haste, alacrity’), HED H:414 and EDHIL:365 (‘readiness, ability to act swiftly’), HEG A-K:318f. and HHw:s.v. (‘Eile’), Starke 1990a:362 (‘Eile, Schnelligkeit, Behendigkeit’), Ünal 2007a:242 (‘agility, readiness, speed, battle-readiness, ability to act swiftly’), HW 2nd ed. Ḫ:784 (‘Eile, Schnelligkeit, militärische Bereitschaft’).

The Hittite a-stem, if borrowed from Luwian, allows as its source both a mutated stem ḫūd(i)- and a non-mutated stem ḫūda- c. or ḫūd(a)- n. The latter would then have been regularly transferred to the common gender in the process of borrowing (see Starke 1990a:362).

[E.R.]

1. ḫūtarlānn(i)-
2. ḫutarli(ya)-

A Luwian origin for ḫūda- is posited in DLL:49, Starke 1990a:364f. and CLL:78, whereas it is doubted in HEG A-K:318f. and Melchert 2005a:449 and not listed in van den Hout 2006a.

The use of the gloss wedges and the firm entrenchment into the Luwian word family of ḫwi-/ḫū- strongly point to a borrowing. However, the existence in Hittite context of the adverb ḫūdāk ‘instantly’ (which on account of its phonological structure with a final plosive cannot be Luwian but must be genuinely Hittite) shows that *ḫūda- also existed in this language. Therefore, one must content oneself with the statement that the Hittite scribes assumed a Luwianism for ḫūda-, probably because they knew the word from Luwian (differently Zorman 2007a:763, who unconvincingly considers a taboo-related use of the gloss wedges with the present lexeme).On the apparent switch of the gender argued by Starke 1990a:362, see CLL:78, as well as the comment in HW 2nd ed. Ḫ:784 on its dating.
