1.1.3.1Phonological Interpretation
The phonological interpretation of this verb is based on that of its word family ranging around /hadi-(ti)/ ‘to proclaim’ and reasonably certain. The intervocalic dental of the root is clearly lenited, because it undergoes rhotacism at KARKAMIŠ A6, §21 (cf. Melchert 2003b:179-181).
[AH.B.]
1.1.4Meaning ‘to cause to proclaim, cause to speak’
The meaning is assigned on the basis of the transparent morphology of the word and was already clear to Bossert 1951a:46 and Meriggi 1967b:28 (followed by Morpurgo Davies 1980b:90, Hawkins 1981a:154f., Sasseville 2021a:464f.). The passage at KARKAMIŠ A6, §21 reads: a-wa/i (LOQUI)ha+ra/i-nu-wa/i (DEUS)ku+AVIS-pa-pa-a, approx. /a=wa hadinuwi Kubaba/, meaning ‘I shall cause (him) to proclaim: (“Kubaba, you yourself shall make it great in my hand)’ (cf. Hawkins 2000a:125).
[AH.B.]
