1.1.4Meaning

Like its cognate padd-/patz- and the verbs para-(ti) and papra-(i), CLuw. paddaliya-(i) describes the action of a scape animal used in a ritual to remove the impurity, hence ‘to carry off’ (CLL:174, HHw:127, Yakubovich 2016a:75, Oettinger 2019a:463, Sasseville 2021a:413, Yakubovich & Mouton 2023b:417, DCL:s.v.; for a different analysis EDHIL:674; Kloekhorst 2014b:575-577). The context of the letter does not offer any additional information.

[E.R.]

1.1.5Stem

While the root padd- is also found in padd-/patz- ‘to carry (off)’, the stem formant is ambiguous as it may reflect *-lo- > -al- for building neuter instrument nouns (Sasseville 2021a:413), or the adjectival suffix -al(i)- (see under šarkiwal(i)- and maraḫšiwal(i)-). Finally, the stem *paddal- or *paddal(i)- was turned into a denominative verb in -iya-(i) (Sasseville 2021a:413).

[E.R.]
