1.1.4Meaning
It is no accident that the derived adjective adduwali(ya)- occurs together with its base noun, the substantivized neuter form of ādduwāl(i)-, because the goal of the ritual performance is to transfer the evil to where it belongs: a=tta ādduwanza pariyan adduwaliyan wattaniyan uppannandu “Let them carry the evil over to the country belonging to evil!” (KBo 13.260 iii 13’-15’, see Yakubovich 2010d:236-238). Thus, the lexeme, though attested only once, is unambiguously marked from both a formal and a semantic viewpoint.
[E.R.]
1.1.5Stem
