1.1.3Graphic Features
Checked against the photographs in the Mainzer Fotoarchiv. – Obviously, the tablet of the Vorlage of KUB 32.14, 10’ was destroyed, which is why the copyist marked the passage after parit with two crossed diagonals (sign PAB); cf. Otten 1953a:22 n. 29. – Contra Starke 1985b:64 and CLL:168, the form to be expected at KUB 35.53 iii 13’ is parittarwašša and must be located in the line-initial lacuna. – The restoration at KBo 9.141 i 5’, i 6’ is not entirely assured.

1.1.4Meaning
Most recently, CLuw. parittarwalli(ya)- has received a new and persuasive semantic interpretation, when Mouton & Yakubovich 2019a:219-223 argued that parittarwalli(ya)- means ‘external’. It appears in a merism with irḫuwalli(ya)- also newly interpreted as ‘internal’ (Ibid. 215-219). They base their proposal on 1) the meaning of the Lydian cognate pλtarwo-, which designates an external part of the grave (see under Lemma), 2) the morphological analysis of the stem, which starts from parī ‘forth, away’ (see under Lemma) and assumes a suffixal chain made of -ttar- < *-tero- (polar suffix), -wa(/i)- < *-u̯o- (polar suffix, reinforcing) and the adjectival suffixes -alla/i- (substantivized) and -i(ya)-, and 3) the antonymic combination with irḫuwalli(ya)- ‘internal’. The only modification necessary concerns the suffix -ttar-, which for phonological reasons and on account of numerous parallels, should rather go back to *-tro-. Now superseded: Laroche 1958b:183, DLL:79, HW:475, CLL:168, Hutter 2003a:262, HHw:s.v.; doubts already in Meriggi 1962c:258; see also the skeptical comments in Sasseville 2021a:187.
