1.1.4Meaning
Since the context is fragmentary, the meaning tentatively suggested by Sasseville 2021b:177 based on an etymological connection with Hitt. āk-/akk-(ḫi) ‘to die’, i.e. akakanta ‘they died’ or caus. ‘they caused to die’, is unprovable.
[D.S.]
1.1.5Stem
On account of the reduplication, the verb is likely conjugated according to the ḫi-conjugation.
