1.1.4Meaning
The common gender nom. pl. form in -iyanzi implies the existence of a non-mutated a-stem built from an -i(ya)- adjective. This being ēr(ḫū)walli(ya)- ‘internal’, its derivative would mean ‘internality, state of being internal’ or the like. However, the context is too fragmentary to support this or any other suggestion.
