3sg. pres. act.

wroλt

LW 12.8 (Sardis)

Whereas Meriggi 1935a:115 n. 113 analyzed wroλt as wroλ=t (a dative noun with the particle =(i)t) (followed by Gusmani 1964a:228), Sasseville 2021a:168f. interprets it as a verbal form of the 3sg. pres. act. in -ol-i-^(t), pointing out that the same stem final is found in the verb fẽdanoλt, for which an analysis as fẽdanoλ=t would be syntactically impossible. Therefore, a verb of the shape wroli-^(t) (with syncope of the suffix vowel and palatalization of the preceding consonant, for which see Sasseville 2021a:162f.) is posited.

The connection with wrato/u- as one finds in Gusmani 1964a:228 and Shevoroshkin 1968a:155 is now outdated, see under lemma.

[D.S.]

No meaning is offered by Sasseville 2021a:168f. for the verb wroli-^(t), although the subjects of the verb ought to be some kind of owner (i.e.sfato-) and his sfatrτa-, and the action is performed in relation to a temenos. Without a solid etymological approach, nothing more can be said here.

[D.S.]

For a derivational base of wroli­-^(t), Sasseville 2021a:169 posits a genitival adjective in -l(i)- derived from a non-attested base *wro-.
