Since Götze 1963a:60f. recognized the derivational relationship between the verb CLuw. tarāwi-^(ti) and tarāwiya-, the same problems for the semantic interpretation arose for the noun as are reported for the verb.Therefore, the translations by Laroche 1963a:246 (followed in HW:458 and Ünal 2007a:691) as ‘rest, calm’, by Götze 1963a:60f. (followed in Starke 1990a:63) as ‘enrichment’, and Houwink ten Cate & Josephson 1967a:131 as ‘maturity’ are outdated. Cf. also HEG T:155f. with only the general notion of a ‘positive state’. Once it had become clear that tarāwi-^(ti) means ‘to hand over, deliver, reveal’, the meaning of the abstract noun could also be derived, i.e. ‘delivery’. The delivery (e.g., of goods by the gods) suits very well the context of the king’s request for divine blessings such as wealth, peace, well-being, growth, and prosperity. Thus, there is no need to assume any of the suggested metonomical changes from ‘handing over’ via ‘administration’ to ‘control’ (Melchert 1992a:53) or ‘delivery’ to ‘commitment (to deliver)’ (Sasseville 2020a:278f., followed in DCL:s.v.).

Based on the attested forms, the stem can be classified as a common gender non-mutating noun in -iya-. While the connection between CLuw. tarāwiya- and tarāwi-^(ti) has been known since Götze 1963a:60f. (see under Meaning), it was only recently that Sasseville 2020cdiscussed the derivational process between -i-^(ti) verbs and their derived abstract nouns in -iy-a- c., listing also tarāwiya- as a case in point (ibid. 278-280).

[E.R.]

The use of the gloss wedges, the derivational relationship with the CLuw. verb tarāwi-^(ti) and, if the reconstruction is accepted, the loss of the voiced velar leaves no doubt about the Luwian origin of the noun. It is considered in HW:458, and accepted in Laroche 1963a:24, Starke 1990a:63, Melchert 1992a:54, CLL:211, HHw:167, Melchert 2005a:450, van den Hout 2006a:243, Sasseville 2020c:278-280, DCL:s.v.
