1.1.4Meaning

Due to the fragmentary state of the passage, no meaning assignment is possible (DLL:108, Starke 1990a:224, CLL:260, HHw:196). Also, the analysis of the stem formation cannot be conclusive, since the Anatolian cuneiform languages offers three roots of the shape warp-: two separate verbs ‘to enclose’ and ‘to bathe, wash’, and a noun meaning ‘tool, weapon’ (see Weitenberg 1977a, Yakubovich 2019a).

[E.R.]

1.1.5Stem

Starke 1990a:224 treats the word under the stems with the suffix -i(t)-. He is followed in CLL:260 and HHw:196, and the stem warpi(t)- is also adopted here.
