1.1.3.1Phonological Interpretation

Unclear. Hawkins 1995a:76 very tentatively suggests a connection with the word family around /su-/ ‘full’, but further data are needed for corroboration.

[AH.B.]

1.1.4Meaning

The meaning was first assigned tentatively by Hawkins 1995a:76 based on the shape of the logogram, which seems to depict a beaker, followed by Poetto 1993a:43f. The context at YALBURT frag. 1, §10 supports his suggestion, but it awaits definitive proof: a-wa/i-mu [*509] BOS OVIS *510-ti ARHA CAPERE, approx. /a=wa=mu … wawin hawin ...-ti ahha lanta/, meaning ‘(In the Kwalatarna region, the people fell to their knees), and for me they deported …, oxen, (and) sheep in full measure (?)’.The clitic pronoun shows the acc./dat. sg. /=mu/ instead of the dat.-reflexive /=mi/, suggesting that the verb is not a 1sg. pret. act., pace Hawkins 1995a:76 and Poetto 1993a:44.
