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 CAPERE ‘they deported’.
[AH.B.]
