trqqñtasa-^(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.]

Neumann 2007a:379 reads trqqñtasazi (following Kalinka 1901a:54) and sees an ethnicon in -ze/i- (followed by Gehrisch 2018a:107f.). However, the reading with 〈t〉, which had also been suggested in the 19^th century, was eventually confirmed by Schürr 2005a:129.

[D.S.]

Both Melchert (DLL:132) and Schürr 2005a:153 rightly see a verbal form. Schürr (ibid.) suggests the meaning ‘to make into something belonging to the Storm-god’. Within the same analysis of the factitive suffix -a-^(ti), Sasseville 2021a:54 takes the agent noun trqqñtasa- c. as the derivational base and suggests a slightly meaning with ‘to perform one’s function as priest/disciple of the Storm-god (upon something)’ or ‘to make into a priest/disciple of the Storm-god’. The direct object qirzã, which denotes some kind of property or sanctuary (see Lyc. B qirza-), speaks for the former option. Therefore, we expect the phrase qirzã trqqñtasati to mean ‘He performs his function as priest/disciple of the Storm-god upon the qirza.’

[D.S.]

For the derivational base see Lyc. B trqqñtasa- and the lemma head Lyc. trqqn͂t-.
