Glossenkeilkulliya[

‘(unknown)’

1.1.1Transmission

The sole and incomplete attestation of the lexeme comes from a NS oracle fragment.

[E.R.]

1.1.2Forms

unknown Glossenkeilku-ul-li-ia[(-) KUB 50.46 iii 7’ (CTH 574, NS)

1.1.3Graphic Features

Checked against the photographs in the Mainzer Fotoarchiv. – On this tablet, there is an unusually large distance between (single) gloss wedges and words marked by them.

[E.R.]

1.1.4Meaning

The fragmentary state of the context precludes any informed semantic interpretation. The connection to other lexemes such as Hitt. kuliešš- ‘to become calm’ and congeners as proposed in Tognon 2005a:165 with n. 780 must remain speculative; cf. DCL:s.v., but the alleged Hitt. gulliya- is a ghostword (see under Glossenkeilkug(g)ulla-).

[E.R.]

1.1.5Stem

With the ending broken away, an assignment to a stem class is impossible.

[E.R.]

1.1.6Origin

The gloss wedge marking in the context of other Luwianisms marked likewise speaks for a Luwian origin of the word, thus also listed in DCL:s.v.

[E.R.]

For the lemma head see CLuw. *gull-.
