1.1.3Meaning
The compound munikleimẽ is the direct object of lawitẽnu (3sg. pres. impv. med.), a verb of obscure meaning. Based on the meaning of its second member, i.e. Lyc. B klleime- ‘payment’, it must refer to some kind of payment. This is in agreement with the context, since munikleime- appears in a curse formula. However, the exact type of payment, to which it refers, remains obscure until the meaning of the first member muni- and of the Lycian B simplex muni is elucidated; cf. DLL:41, Neumann 2007a:227. Outdated Pedersen 1904a:195, Meriggi 1978c:248.

1.1.5Origin
This lexeme must be a borrowing from the Lycian B dialect. This assumption is mainly based on the phonological shape of the second member -kleime-, where k is the regular outcome of *ku̯ before front vowels, while Lycian A shows t; cf. Lyc. B klleime- and Lyc. A tll(e)i-(di). Moreover, the first member muni- occurs as a simplex in Lycian B context.
