The nouns ḫatta ‘piercing, striking’ and šēwa appear in parallel actions in a ritual for the mother and child: ^(9’)... ḫa-at-ta-in-zi ^(10’)ḫa-at-ta a-da-an-du ^(11’)ši-e-ḫu-wa-en-zi še-e-wa ^(12’)a-da-an-du “those related to piercing shall eat piercing, those related to cutting shall eat cutting” (KBo 13.260 iii 9’-12’; slightly different Starke 1990a:393 and Melchert apud Mouton & Yakubovich 2019a:217f.). The translation chosen here follows that of its Hittite match ḫatt- ‘to pierce, prick, stab, hit, strike, engrave’ (similar Starke 1990a:393: ‘Gewaltiges’ and CLL:63: ‘violent blow, harm’, followed in HHw:47 and Kimball 2015a:68).

[E.R.]

The nom./acc. coll. form belongs to an unmutated action noun ḫatta- c. (CLL:63, Sasseville 2021a:104, Kimball 2015a:68).

This lexeme is a hapax attested in a sepulchral inscription.

[O.B.]

The reading of the form as xttaẽ (acc. sg.) in Neumann 2007a:135 is surely erroneous. The phonotactics of such a word are unprecedented elsewhere in Lycian and the attested text actually has a word divider between xtta and ẽ.

[O.B.]

Lyc. A xtta- is only attested as a collective in the clause se xtta : ẽ : adi ‘and if (s)he does x.’. The context of the passage with a punishment clause in the following line strongly suggests that xtta has a negative connotation. Etymological considerations indicate a meaning like ‘damage, harm’ (cf. other related Anatolian lemmata and derivatives, see also CLL:63, DLL:85, Melchert 2014d:210, Sasseville 2021a:86, contra Christiansen 2020a:252 ‘alteration’).

[O.B.]

On the basis of the CLuw. cognate ḫatta-, without i-mutation, it seems most likely that Lyc. A xtta- is an a-stem, although the single attestation does not prove this beyond doubt.
