ha-^(di)

This lexeme is found in various types of inscriptions from the Classical period. It is also commonly used in univerbations, for which see under Compound. The personal name Ddawahãma- (TL 113.2) could also be adduced here, if we analyze it as ddewe- n. ‘gift’ + hãme/i- ‘releasing’ + -a- c., i.e. ‘the one releasing gifts’.

The restoration of ha[de] (TL 44b.47-48) follows the one of Schürr 1997b:65, which is contextually supported. For the likely assignment of the fragmentary form had[ (TL 44a.11) to this lexeme, cf. Neumann 2007a:89. The two singular forms hati definitely belong to a different paradigm; see under Lyc. A ha-^(ti).

[D.S.]

The verb ha-^(di) is used with various preverbs, modifying its meaning. A list of all the different combinations with their respective semantics will be given, before the core meaning of the verb ha-^(di) is addressed.

ñte pddẽ hadẽ = Greek κατέστησε ‘installed, appointed’ (Laroche 1979c:61, Heubeck 1981a:159)

epi hadi / epi hãti ‘release’ (Melchert 1989b:38f., differently Eichner 1983a:62 ‘to grant’)

ñtepi hadu ‘allow’ (Melchert 1989b:39f.)

ha[de] ẽnẽ ‘restored (vel sim.)’

The verb is also used without preverbs in a passage, where it takes two dedications as direct objects (TL 44c.4). It is translated as ‘to issue’ by Melchert 1993e:31., whereas Hajnal 1995a:108 n. 96 uses German ‘zulassen’ (Engl. ‘to allow’), in order to keep the connection with ‘to let’, which was suggested on etymological grounds with CLuw. šā-⁽ⁱ⁾ ‘to let go, release’ (Melchert 1989b:38-40). While it is clear that the basic meaning expresses a movement from one person to another like ‘to let something reach someone’ or ‘to let someone reach something’ (thus Neumann 2007a:88), various verbs are used in our modern languages to render the exact meaning, which strongly depends on the context.
