1.1.4Meaning

Starke 1985b:238 plausibly restores KUB 35.107 iii 14’ as kaskalḪI.A-wa-an-za (= /hruwanzi?/) ḫa-r[u-wa-an-ni-in-za ‘paths and small paths’ to produce a combination of a noun and its derived diminutive in analogy to ídḪI.A-inza (= /habinza/) ḫapinninza ‘rivers and small rivers’ (ibid. iii 15’). In addition, the denominative verbal formation ḫarwanni-(ti) (see under Lemma) proves the existence of the lexeme. Starke is followed in CLL:62, HHw:45, EDHIL:317, Sasseville 2021a:137, and also here.

[E.R.]

1.1.5Stem

Starke’s (Starke 1985b:238) restoration as an -ann(i)- diminutive implies a mutated stem.

[E.R.]
