Depending on the genre, the meaning of tarpanalla/i- is ‘(ritual) substitute’ or, in the mythological texts, ‘usurper, rival’ (since Güterbock 1956a:124; see also van Brock 1959a:117-126, DLL:94, HW:427, van Brock 1962a:106, Kümmel 1967a:19-22, Tischler 1981a:23f., CLL:215, HEG T:209f., Starke 1990a:233f., HHw:169, Ünal 2007a:699; outdated is Güterbock 1946a:56: ‘Rebell, Widersacher (?)’).

[E.R.]

As pointed out already by van Brock 1959a:117-126 (van Brock 1962a:106) and confirmed later by Starke 1990a:233f., tarpanalla/i- derives from a reconstructed stem *tarpan- by means of an adjectival suffix -alla/i- and substantivized as an individual noun (accepted also by Del Monte 2009a:163 with n. 9, CLL:215, HEG T:205, Melchert 2014d:210, DCL:s.v.).

1. tarpanallašša-⁽ⁱ⁾

On account of the gloss wedge marking, the Luwian suffixation and the Luwian root tarp-, the status as a borrowing from Luwian was never called into doubt, but was either stated explicitly or implicitly presupposed (Rosenkranz 1957a:370, van Brock 1962a:106, DLL:94, HW:427, Heinhold-Krahmer 1977a:288, Josephson 1979a:177, Tischler 1981a:23f., Starke 1990a:233f. CLL:215, HEG T:209f., HHw:169; DCL:s.v.).
