āriya-^(ti)

This lexeme is found in a ritual against disease (CTH 765) and in the Puriyanni-Ritual (CTH 758).

2sg. impv. act.	a-a-ri-ia	KUB 35.89, 18’	(CTH 766, MS)
3sg. pres. ind. act.	a-ri-ia-ad-du	KUB 35.54 ii 26’	(CTH 758, MS)
	[a-ri-ia-ad-]du	KBo 29.2 ii 5’ + KUB 35.52 ii 4b’	(CTH 758, NS)

The forms listed in the table above have previously been listed together with the lexeme āri-^(ti) ‘to raise’ in the literature (Laroche 1959a:30f., Starke 1990a:302-305, CLL:26f.). However, Sasseville 2021a:21f. argues that the retention of the sequence -iya- in this verb speaks for a different stem class, i.e. a denominative verb derived from the action noun /ariya-/ c., ultimately derived from āri-^(ti) ‘to raise’. For further evidence, see under Meaning.

Starke 1990a:303 notices that ariyaddu has a somewhat different meaning than the other attestations of āri-^(ti) ‘to raise’, viz. ‘to carry’; outdated Laroche 1959a:30f. Furthermore, the two instances showing the stem ariya- are used with the preverbs anda ‘in(to)’ in the sense of ‘to carry in’ (Sasseville 2021a:22). In the ritual of Puriyanni, it takes the sacrificial items/equipment as direct object, i.e. malḫašša.

[D.S.]

The verb is taken here as a denominative verb in -a-^(ti) derived from the action noun /ariya-/, attested so far only in Hieroglyphic Luwian (Sasseville 2021a:21f.). This classification is supported from the morphological perspective, although it lacks the important forms of the paradigm, i.e. 2^nd and 3^rd person singular, needed to prove the stem classification.
