1.1.3Meaning ‘having buildings (vel sim.)’
This lexeme m̃mẽt(i)- is a derivative in -nt- from the base m̃me/i- ‘building’ (Meriggi 1978c:247, DLL:42). Melchert (DLL:42f.) argues for a possessive nt-stem, which is supported from the context in TL 65.18, where the adjective m͂mẽti modifies teteri ‘town, city’.
