[E.R.]
1.1.5Stem
The form can be classified as the 3pl. pret. of a Hittite verbal stem in -iye/a-(mi).
[E.R.]
1.1.6Origin
For instances of Hittite words with Hittite inflectional endings in the same text, cf. also Hitt. irmalaš ibid. i 44, peran hūiyami ibid. iv 10. Accordingly, the verb is almost unanimously regarded as genuinely Hittite in spite of the gloss wedge marks (explicit HW 2nd ed. A:344, DCL:31; implicit: HW:33, 330, HEG A-K:67f., HED A, E, I:172f., HHw:24, van den Hout 2006a:240, Ünal 2007a:60, EDHIL:210f.). The sole exception is van den Hout 2006a:240.
