lāliya(-)

‘(unknown)’

1.1.1Transmission

The word is attested exclusively in a single NS copy of the OH Ištanuwa festival.

[E.R.]

1.1.2Forms

unknown la-a-li-ia(-)[ KBo 13.268 ii 4 (CTH 773, NS)

1.1.3Meaning

Due to the fragmentary state of the tablet, no semantic specification is possible. Although Carruba 1982a:42 tentative identification with the nom./acc. pl. n. of an adjective lali(ya)- derived from lāl(i)- is a possible solution, it is not supported by any contextual evidence and too many alternatives exist. It is not even clear, whether the word ends after -ia(-)[ ... ].

[E.R.]
