†ḫaššuwašša/i-

The alleged word occurs in two duplicate copies of a New Script ritual text (CTH 448).

[E.R.]

(gen. adj.) acc.pl.c.	TU7x-x]-šu-wa-aš-ši-in-za	KUB 12.16 i 10’ with duplicate Bo 3648 i 17f.	(CTH 448, NS)
	T[U7 … ]	Bo 3648+ obv. 17f.	(CTH 448)

The attestation at KUB 12.16 i 10’ was checked against the photographs in the Mainzer Fotoarchiv. – Since there is no trace of the restored signs ḫa and aš on the foto, it is indeed doubtful to reckon with a hapax legomenon ḫaššuwaššinza apud Taracha 2000a: 28f. n. 42, 68, 104f. (followed in HW 2nd ed. Ḫ;470 ‘zum König gehörig’, Ünal 2007a:197 ‘royal dish’, DCL:65 ‘regal, royal’). Giusfredi & Pisaniello 2019a:25f. argue that the restoration of the lexeme as an acc. pl. c. ^TU7ḫa-aš]-šu-wa-aš-ši-in-za ‘related to the king’ by Taracha 2000a:28f., 68, 104f. (followed in HW 2nd ed. Ḫ: 470, Ünal 2007a:197) is without foundation since the alleged parallel TU₇ LUGAL occurs in a different context. For a detailed argumentation, cf. Giusfredi & Pisaniello 2019a:25-27. Doubts are expressed also in DCL:58. Taracha’s (Taracha 2000a:104f.) morphological analysis of the word as a collective form in -a, accepted also in in HW 2nd ed. Ḫ: 470, is out of the question. The visible signs °-šu-wa-aš-ši-in-za might belong to any Luwian noun ending in °-šu (or °-šu-wa); for a new reading wašuwaššinzi ‘of the good things’, cf. Giusfredi & Pisaniello 2019:25-27.

[E.R.]

The underlying noun ending in -šu- (or -šu-wa-) is derived with the Luwian suffix for genitival adjective -ašša/i-.

[E.R.]

Whatever initial sequence has to be restored, a Luwian origin is likely on accunt of the suffix (see under Stem).
