uranni(ya)

The lexeme is attested only once in a fragment belonging to the Festival of Ḫuwaššanna.

[E.R.]

In DLL:102 and CLL:244, the form uranninza at KBo 29.33 r.col. 10 + KBo 20.72 r.col. 5’ is listed with the attestations of urann(i)-, but see under Meaning.

Checked against the photographs in the Mainzer Fotoarchiv.

[E.R.]

The sole attestation of the word functions as one of two attributes of dingir^MEŠ towards the end of a list of deities to receive an offering of wine: dingir^MEŠ uranninza allinalinza (KBo 29.33 r.col. 10’ + KBo 20.72 r.col. 5’). Therefore, it is likely that uranninza is an adjective. Since it is also clear that urann(i)- is a noun, the present form represents a relational adjective in -i(ya)-, hence a stem uranni(ya)- meaning ‘related to urann(i)-’, perhaps ‘related to the grandmother (?)’ or ‘related to the (female) ancestor (?)’ is posited here (see under lemma).

[E.R.]

As noted under Meaning, uranninza can be analyzed as a mutated i(ya)-adjective based on urann(i)-.

Clearly based on CLuw. urann(i)- and featuring the Luwian ending -nza, the Luwian origin of the form is obvious (see DLL:102, CLL:244, but not mentioned in Melchert 2005a and van den Hout 2006a).
