1.1.3.1Phonological Interpretation
Unclear. The logographic rendition of the stem permits no conclusions as to the phonological shape of the word. The sign *135(9) is unique to the context at KARAHÖYÜK (ELBİSTAN), §12.

1.1.4Meaning
The meaning of this word is unclear. Hawkins 2000a:293 points out that the listing by Laroche 1960c:80 of the sign as a variant of *135, which appears to resemble a bird, cannot be regarded as certain. The context at KARAHÖYÜK (ELBİSTAN), §12 reads: a-wa/i-mu (DEUS)TONITRUS POCULUM.PES.*67 LOCUS-tá LOCUS-tá kwa/i-i(a)-mi-sa *135(9)-ti sa-tá, approx. /a=wa=mu Tarhunzas … allanta alanta kwayammis …-Ti asta/, perhaps translating as ‘(The Storm-god) Tarhunt of the land … was revered for me in all places with/by *135(9)-’ (cf. Hawkins 2000a:290).
