neke

This lexeme is found once in the poetical inscription engraved on the lion sarcophagus of Antiphellos dated on stylistic grounds to the beginning of the 4th century BCE (Zahle 1979a:318, Mühlbauer 2007a:91).

[D.S.]

indecl.	neke	TL 55.7 (Antiphellos)
	nek(e)	TL 55.7 (Antiphellos)

Thus with DLL:122.

[D.S.]

The use of neke … neke … in TL 55.7 negates two direct objects of the verb xrãti, i.e. ziwalã and killeterblẽ:

                nek(e) … ki=xrãti ziwalã neke … killeterblẽ

                ‘…, who offer (as compensation) neither a ziwala-official nor a killeterble-official…’

Therefore, the meaning ‘neither… nor…’ can be assigned to neke … neke … (pace Schürr 2005a:145f.). The univerbated negation neke from ne and =ke is comparable to Hitt. nikku (see under Lyc. B nike).
