1.1.3Graphic Features
Pace Schürr 2005a:134, who separates the word sequence atlitñne into atli tñne. The word division (atlit(e) + ñne) is based here on the fact that the sentence would otherwise lack a verb. For the deletion of a vowel in front of a clitic beginning with a nasal sound, cf. alb(ã)=mu (TL 44d.7).
[D.S.]
1.1.4Meaning
It is taken tentatively as a denominative derived from atla- ‘person, self (?)’, i.e. perhaps ´to appropriate (?)´, although the context is obscure and the meaning of the verb is difficult to verify.
