1.1.2Forms

unclear /…/ *509 YALBURT frag. 2, §6 (Konya)

[A.P.] [AH.B.]

1.1.3Meaning

The meaning of this word is suggested by Hawkins 1995a:76 based on the combination with the two following nouns as corresponding to the Hittite collocation NAM.RA GUD UDU ‘captives, oxen, sheep’. The context at YALBURT frag. 2, §6 supports this: a-wa/i-mu *509 BOS OVIS *510-ti […], approx. /a=wa=mu … wawin hawin …/, partly translating as ‘(In the Tlawa region, the people fell to their knees,) and for me, … captives, oxen, (and) sheep in full measure (?)’ with the missing verb likely the same as found in what may be an identical clause at YALBURT frag. 1, §10, viz. ARHA ‘they deported’.
