kulliya[
1.1.1Transmission
The sole and incomplete attestation of the lexeme comes from a NS oracle fragment.
[E.R.]
1.1.2Forms
| unknown | 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
kug(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-.
