1. /annarzuha(/i)-/

Appearing in a letter, a cult inventory, and a festival text, the lexeme shows no preference for a specific genre (from MS onwards).

The adjectival function of annara/i- becomes apparent in its use as an attribute of uddār ‘words.’ Accordingly, it must be distinguished from substantival annari- ‘strength, virility’ (also in Hittite transmission). Its parallelism with muwatti(ya)- ‘mighty, powerful’ in ⸢^NA4⸣ḫé-gur an-na-ri-in ⸢^NA4?ḫé^?-gur^? mu⸣-u-wa-at-ti-in-na “the rock sanctuary ‘Strong’ and the rock sanctuary ‘Powerful’” (KUB 27.13 iv 17’; for the interpretation as names, see Otten & von Soden 1968a:28f.) shows that it does in fact belong  to the same word family as annarumma/i- ‘strong, virile’ (thus already Rosenkranz 1952a:21) and is very close to it semantically. The translation has found broad acceptance (CLL:14, Melchert 1999e:367, EDHIL:387, Simon 2010b:252, Maier 2013a:57; still without translation DLL:26; dismissive HW 2nd ed. A:79).

The forms in -iš, -in, and -ā show the typical pattern of mutated adjectives.

3. annarumma/i-

4. annarumā(i)-

5. ānnarumāḫi(t)-

The initial vowel quality of annar- vs. Hitt. innar-, the evident i-mutation, and the gloss wedge marking all clearly demonstrate the Luwian origin of the word; cf. the references under Meaning, but different HW 2nd ed. A:79.

[E.R.]

This word is found in an inscription dated to the 4^th century BCE on paleographic grounds (Gusmani 1975b:12, 53).

[D.S.]

Gusmani 1975b:19 suggests tentatively that ẽnarn constitutes a derivative of Lyd. ẽna- ‘mother’ (thus also Gusmani 1980a:51). Dusinberre 2003a:234 translates it with ‘holy oath’ without further comment, which is incomprehensible. From a comparative perspective with Luwian, Lyd. ẽnar(i)- matches CLuw. annara/i- ‘strong’ (or the noun annar(i)- ‘strength’). An adjective meaning ‘strong’ would make sense, if ẽnarn was taken to agree with fasqν ‘(a deity)(?)’ (see isq(i)-) in the preceding line. Thus, the translation resulting from this approach is adopted here provisionally.
