1.1 Lydian

tutrlo-

‘pertaining to the daughter (?)’

1.1.1Transmission

This lemma is attested once in an inscription dated to the 5th or 4th century BCE.

[D.S.]

1.1.2Forms

dat. sg. n. tutrloλ LW 12.4 (Sardis)

Pace Schürr 2006b:1571, the fragmentary word tẽtr[o.] (LW 44a.15) is likely to be a different lexeme than tutrlo-.

[D.S.]

1.1.3Meaning

It is generally agreed that tutrloλ is an attribute to qiraλ ‘property’ in LW 12.4 (Gusmani 1964a:216, Schürr 2006b:1571). Schürr (ibid.) interprets the word tutrloλ as a derivative of tutra- ‘daugther (?)’ and translate ‘Germ. töchterlich’. This semantic interpretation is plausible, but remains tentative as long as the meaning of the derivational base, i.e. tutra-, is uncertain.

[D.S.]

1.1.4Stem

The semantics of the suffix -lo- are obscure. The origin of the Lydian o-stems remains obscure as well.

[D.S.]

For the derivational base see Lyd. tutra-.
