prija-^(ti)

This lexeme is attested once in the poetical inscription engraved on the lion sarcophagus of Antiphellos, dated on stylistic grounds to the beginning of the 4^th century BCE (Zahle 1979a:318, Mühlbauer 2007a:91).

[D.S.]

The word is used adverbially once, modifying the verb slatu ‘to offer in sacrifice’. The approximate meaning ‘friendly, nicely, of one’s free will, willingly’ can be adduced from a comparative perspective with Lyc. B prijeli(je)-. This could be compared to Greek τάς τε θυσίας πάσας ἔθυσεν τὰς γινομένας ἐν τῶι ἐνιαυτῶι ὑπὲρ τῆς βουλῆς καὶ τοῦ δήμου καλῶς καὶ φιλοτίμως ‘He performed all sacrifices, the ones happening in the year, for the council and the people, nicely and generously (or honorably).’ (IG II2 788, 10-12) and ἀνέθηκεν δὲ καὶ βωμὸν λίθινον ἐκ τῶν ἰδίων ‘He set up also an altar made of stone of his own free will.’ (IG II2 788, 12-13).

The other Lycian attestation seems to modify qrbblali, which probably denotes an official in charge of the qrbble(/i)-. The meaning ‘nice, generous’ is also appropriate as an attribute to someone involved in cultic activities (similarly Shevoroshkin 2014a:250, 253 ‘cherished’).

As per Schürr 2005a:147 and especially Sasseville 2021a:45, prijãme/i- is most likely a participial form of a factitive verb prija-^(ti).
