dda-

This word is found in a silver bowl inscription, whose provenance is unknown as it was discovered in a private collection; it is now kept at the Istanbul museum.

[D.S.]

For the reading, see Neumann 1979a:50-52 (tentatively followed by Melchert (DLL:10), Sasseville 2021a:305). Differently, Carruba 1979b:93 reads ạṛawu, which is not persuasive, as it does not provide any sense for the context.

[D.S.]

On contextual grounds, Neumann 1979a:50-52 assigns the meaning ‘to give’ to the verb dda-, which takes the dedicated silver bowl as direct object and a personal name as indirect object, i.e. the beneficent (followed by Melchert (DLL:10) and Sasseville 2018a:310 (and Sasseville 2021a:305), who adduces further evidence from the Lycian B verb da-^(di)).

[D.S.]

The verb dda- is the reduplicated form of da-^(di) ‘to give’, just like ta-^(di) ‘to put’ and tta-^(di) ‘id.’.
