1.1.4Meaning
Poetto 1997a:237 (following Meriggi 1957b:68) suggests for ārlanuwa-(i) a verb of giving based on the context and on potential Hieroglyphic Luwian cognates. Melchert 1999a accepts the idea of Poetto 1997a and tries to find further inner-Anatolian evidence for the presence of a root ar- with semantics of giving. He also specifies that ārlanuwa-(i) has the meaning ‘to make (something) owned (by someone)’. On contextual grounds, Yakubovich 2017c:10-12 argues that the basic meaning of the verb is ‘to relocate, replace’, thus distancing himself from the semantics of ‘owning’ and emphasizing those of ‘placing’ (followed by Sasseville 2021a:472f., doubted by Oreshko 2019a:91 n. 22). This contributes to a better understanding of the context and is thus adopted here. No meaning was assigned by Laroche 1959a:31 or Starke 1990a:567.
