CLL:22 interprets the mixed logographic and syllabic spelling egir.ud-miḪI.A-ti at KUB 35.45 ii 9 as the abl./instr. syntagm āpparantati ārati, whereas HED A:97 assumes a substantivization of āpparant(i)- in the dat./loc. sg. (“long year in the future”).

1.1.3Graphic Features
Checked against the photographs in the Mainzer Fotoarchiv. – The two gloss wedges preceding ap-pa-ra-an-ti-en at KUB 35.130 obv. 3 mark the indentation of the line. Contra CLL:22 and HHw:18, the lexeme is not a gloss-wedge word. – Following McMahon 1991a:110 (with references), the reading [(egir-pa-r)]a-an-na-aš at KUB 2.1 iv 20 cited in CLL:22 has to be corrected to [(egir-pa DI)]B-an-na-aš.

1.1.3.1Phonological Interpretation
It is a point of discussion whether or not the spelling [a-a]p-ra-an-da-ti at KUB 32.8 iv 15’ should be emended to [a-a]p-〈pa〉-ra-an-da-ti following all other attestations of the base *appara/i- (thus Otten 1953a:85, different e.g. CLL:22). Since the paragraph is full of scribal errors, assuming yet another mistake does not seem far-fetched. Moreover, if the spelling without -pa- were correct, it would indicate a shape /appra-/ (mutatis mutandis Starke 1990a: 349 n. 1233, 447 n. 1611), which would exclude the direct etymological equation with Skr. apara- ‘later, following’.

1.1.4Meaning
The semantic interpretation of Rosenkranz 1952a:53f. concerning apparent(i)- ‘future’ is based on the equation with EGIR-parant(i)- and logographic egir.ud-miḪI.A-ti ‘in future’. Shortly after, this was modified by Otten 1953a:85, who drew attention to the use of apparent(i)- as an attribute of ār(i)- (now translated with ‘time’) and its adjectival function; for a possible secondary substantivization in egir.ud-miḪI.A-ti, see under Forms. The translation met with general acceptance (still as a substantive: HW:432, DLL:29 and 140, Kammenhuber 1959a:222f., Kammenhuber 1969b:294, HEG A-K:45, HED A:96; as an adjective: HW:328, Starke 1990a:62, CLL:22, Hawkins 2000a:111, Oettinger 2001a:86 n. 12, HHw:s.v., EDHIL:193, Schürr 2012c:9).

1.1.5Stem
Three derivations have been suggested so far, two of them are already in DLL. The first (DLL:29) assumes a compound made of āppa ‘back, again’ plus arant- ‘arrived’, which can safely be discarded on semantic grounds. The second likewise starts from an appa compound, but tries to identify the second member with ār(i)- ‘time’ parallel to Hitt. appa-šiwatt- ‘future, lit. after-day’. In the third analysis, which is adopted here because it follows a productive pattern, the adjective *appara/i- (attested in Hieroglyphic Luwian and Lycian, see under lemma) serves as the basis for a derivative with the suffix -ant(i)- that is well-known from Hittite terms for the seasons (ḫamešḫant- ‘spring’, zenant- ‘fall’, gimmant- ‘winter’; cf. DLL:140, Neumann apud Kammenhuber 1969b:294, Starke 1990a:62, CLL:22, HED A:96, Oettinger 2001a:86 n. 12).
