1.1.3Graphic Features
Carruba 1977a:290 suggests analyzing the sequence sepihesi as se=(e)pi=hesi instead of se=pihesi. However, to take hesi as a Lycian A verbal form in the 2nd singular is not acceptable, nor can it be contextually supported.

1.1.4Meaning
The word pihesi is coordinated with another element mentioned previously in the sentence. However, since the context preceding se=pihesi is not preserved, neither its meaning nor its grammatical role can be verified. No semantics have been assigned (cf. DLL:49, Neumann 2007a:270). The Lycian B word pssesi should be compared.
