1.1.4Meaning
The equation of CLuw. DAnnarumm(i)- with Hitt. DInnarawant- ‘Strong Deities’ was recognized by Forrer 1922a:217 (see also ibid.:222 for the innarawatar and annarummaḫi(t)-) and is generally accepted (cf. Kammenhuber 1953a:28, HW:328, Otten 1953a:49 n. 128, DLL:27, HED A, E, I:63, HEG A-K:360, Starke 1990a:160, CLL:15, HHw:16, EDHIL:387). It is based on the short pseudo-bilingual at HT 1 i 29’-31’ and KUB 9.31 ii 22-24, in which the ritualist addresses the deities and further describes them in both passages as dressing themselves in blood-red clothing and wearing bedouine girdles (for the transliterations, see Starke 1985b:50f. and 53). Further confirmation comes from other members of the respective word families, see e.g. under the Lemma ānnarawaḫi(t)-.

1.1.5Stem
The parallel with Hitt. DInnarawant- ‘Strong Deities’ suggests that DAnnarumm(i)- represents the substantivization of a mutated adjective annarumma/i-. While Starke 1990a:160 classifies annarumma/i- as the participle of an unattested verb *annaru(wa)- and Tischler (HEG A-K:360) analyzes it as annaru-mmi- built from an adjective *annaru-, Melchert 1983a:17 n. 33 posits an adjective derived from a reconstructed abstract noun in -um(ma)n-, i.e. *annarum(ma)n- (still assuming a heteroclitic -mar/-mn-stem at the time). Following Melchert 1983a’s hypothesis, the attested adjective annara/i- is likely to have functioned as the base of *annarum(ma)n-. In view of the other derivatives of annara/i- and the suffixation rules known so far, Melchert 1983a’s plausible analysis is the most economic one with the least amount of unattested steps or unparalleled processes.
