1.1.3Graphic Features
Checked against the photographs in the Mainzer Fotoarchiv. – The reading at-tal-ša suggested by Hagenbuchner 1989a:230 and Gander 2022a:564 must be regarded as unlikely for phonotactic reasons, since the sequence /ls/ is not normally preserved in Luwian, but becomes /lts/; but cf. HLuw. /pals(i)-/.
[E.R.]
1.1.4Meaning
If the reading as at-ri-ša(-) is correct, it is tempting to connect the item with atraḫi(t)- and posit a stem *atri(t)-. However, the pronoun =aš in the same clause precludes an interpretation as neuter nom. or acc. sg. The formal and semantic analysis must remain open.

1.1.6Origin
The only indication of a Luwian origin lies in the gloss wedge marking, which, taken by itself, it is not conclusive.
