†arraḫḫanikti

Ünal 2007a:46 (cf. Ünal 2016a:75) lists a Glossenkeilwort “arraḫḫanikti” attested in KBo 13.50 9’. HW 2nd ed. A:235 transliterates it as ar-ra-aḫ-ḫa-ni-ik-ti[ (a reading with the sequence -ik-ti was already assumed for this attestation by Ünal 1974a:104, n. 55). On the photo of the Mainzer Fotoarchiv the form is only barely legible, but the sign before TI does not support a reading IK (neither does the hand copy). As suggested by de Roos 2007a:166 n. 370, the sequence at the end of the word should be -it-ti instead (cf. also the transliteration by Torri & Barsacchi 2018a:59) which would fit as a form of the verb ārraḫḫani(ya)-^ti (cf. under the respective lemma). Hence the alleged Glossenkeilwort †arraḫḫanikti does not exist and is treated here as a ghost word.
