1.1.4Meaning
Since Otten 1953a:86, ḫattūlāḫi(t)- has been semantically equated with Hitt. ḫattulatar/n- ‘health’, based on their collocation in a blessing formula with CLuw. ḫuiduwalaḫi(t)- ‘life’ at KUB 35.43 ii 38f. and Hitt. TI-atar ‘life’ at KBo 2.9 i 20 respectively (accepted in DLL:44, Kammenhuber 1959b:226, HW:67, Starke 1990a:159, 166, CLL:66, HHw:48, HEG A-K:229, HED H:279, HW 2nd ed. Ḫ:535).
[E.R.]
1.1.5Stem
The abstract noun ends in the suffix -aḫi(t)- (see e.g. HEG A-K:229). It might be attached to the adjective *ḫattul(i)-, whose near-cognate ḫadduli- is attested in Hittite, or alternatively, which was itself borrowed into Hittite as ḫadduli-. The latter solution is advocated by Starke 1990a:166, 173, 440, who also regards Hitt. ḫaddulatar/n- as an adaptation of ḫattālāḫi(t)- (undecided CLL:66; the reverse process considered by Otten 1953a:86 is unlikely); cf. also under Reconstruction in the lemma head.
