1.1.3Graphic Features
Checked against the photographs in the Mainzer Fotoarchiv. –The restoration of Starke 1990a:551 at KUB 2.1 iv 1 as wa-al-li-i[a-at-ta-aš-ši-iš] is shown to be wrong by the comparison of McMahon 1991a:110 with the duplicate KUB 44.16 + IBoT 3.69 vi (handcopy: iv?) 5’. In this manuscript, the relevant word ends in -a]n-na-aš, which amounts to a restoration wa-al-li-i[a-a(n-na-aš)], a form belonging to the Hittite paradigm of walliyatar/-ann- n. (following McMahon 1991a; see also HEG U-Z:262). The formation in -atta(/i)- posited by Starke 1990a:551 and Melchert (CLL:253) must be deleted from the Luwian lexicon.
