1.1.3.1Phonological Interpretation
With the start of the word represented by logograms, its phonological form remains mostly unclear. The string of syllabic signs is likely to be interpreted as /°ya(m)ma/i-/, cf. the discussion of the stem below.
[AH.B.]
1.1.4Meaning
The meaning of this word is suggested tentatively by Yakubovich 2017e:s.v. based on the context and on what little is visible regarding the morphology of the word. TELL AHMAR 6, §24 reads: a-wa/i kwa/i-a-ti-i (ANNUS)u-si-i (FLUMEN)*427.*311-pa-x (PES2)i-˹ha˺ (DEUS)TONITRUS-sa-ti (*314)ha-sa-ta-na-ti-i 500-ta-na-ti (“SCALA+PES+ROTA”)za-la-la-ti-i *179.*347.5-ia-ma-ti (*187)kwa/i-ta-na-ti-i-ha-wa/i EXERCITUS.LA/I/U-na-ti-i, approx. /a=wa kwatti ussi … iha Tarhuntassadi hastanadi …-tanadi zallalladi …-yam(m)adi kwaTanadi kwalanadi/, translating as ‘In the year in which I went to (FLUMEN)*427.*311-pa- with (the storm-god) Tarhunt’s support, with 500 (?) carts, and with the army equipped (?) with kwaTana-’ vel sim. (Hawkins 2006b:14f.). It is possible, however, that the word should be taken as another noun and represent some kind of equipment, material or immaterial, in itself.

1.1.5Stem
The stem of this word is largely unclear, but it appears to end in /°ya(m)ma/i-/, suggesting a verbal base. It may either be a deverbal noun in /-m(i)-/, or a participle in /-mma/i-/, cf. Melchert 2003b:195.
