apār-^(ti)

The word occurs in two parallel contexts in fragments related to the Kuwattalla tradition (from MS onward).

[E.R.]

1sg. pret. act. (?)	a-pa-ar-ḫa	KUB 35.68, 13’	(CTH 763, NS)
	[a-pa]-a-ar-ḫa	KUB 35.65 iii 11	(CTH 763, MS)

The morphological analysis is less than assured. Melchert (in CLL:21) tentatively decides to list the form as a 1sg. pret. act. verb and the following form zāštātta as pronominal neuter nom./acc. pl. of zašta/i- with the particle =tta (ibid. 281), while Mouton, Puértolas Rubio & Yakubovich (pers. comm.) prefer to view apār- as a noun (nom./acc. sg. n.) with the conjunction =ḫa ‘and’ and zāštātta as the verb (2sg. pret. act.). From a formal point of view, either solution is possible.

No meaning has been assigned to the word so far (DLL:29, CLL:21, HHw:18). The context, in which it occurs, cites a direct speech presenting the opponent of the ritual patron, either a man or a woman, to the Sun-god. The following line 13’ [... ^DTi]-wa-za a-pa-ar-ḫa za-a-aš-ta-a-at-ta na-[... ] probably contains the address of the Sun-god and, if the verbal interpretation of aparḫa is correct, one can speculate that it refers to the fact that the person was brought before the Sun-god. Accordingly, a transfer verb would be appropriate in the given context, but due caution prevents us from offering a translation here.

[E.R.]

If a verb, apār-^(ti) belongs to the class of non-suffixed stems in consonant (like tabar-^(ti)); cf. also Pal. apar-^(ti).
