The attestations of a-an-ni (KUB 35.103 iii 5) and an-ni (KUB 35.102 rev. 5) are assigned to ann(i)- ‘mother’, although an analysis as the relational adjective treated here cannot be excluded. – Likewise, the assignment of ama-in-zi at KBo 29.45, 4’ is unassured.

Only in 1982, ānni(ya)- ‘related to the mother, maternal’ was recognized as a lemma in its own right to be distinguished from its base noun ānn(i)- ‘mother’. Carruba 1982a:36f., 46 demonstrated that the merisms in KUB 35.39 and its duplicate text were all adjectives and, more specifically in case of the degrees of relationship, adjectives in -i(ya)-. He was followed by Melchert 1990a:199f. and CLL:17, and ānni(ya)- is now cited accordingly in the literature (see HHw:16, EDHIL:174, Martínez Rodríguez 2019b:187).On Starke’s (Starke 1990a:63f.) treatment of suffix combinations with -i(ya)-, see Melchert in CLL:iv and passim s.vv. Implausible Lehrman 1998a:13.
