qaja-

This lexeme is found once in the poetical inscription engraved on the lion sarcophagus of Antiphellos, dated on stylistic grounds to the beginning of the 4^th century BCE (Zahle 1979a:318, Mühlbauer 2007a:91).

Schürr 2005a:149 points out the parallelism between epe=de qajã and epe palarã in the next line. He suggests, unconvincingly, a grammatical agreement with ladã, which is found later in the line and probably belongs to a different clause. The accusative qajã must be the direct object of the verb, which is probably lost in the lacuna between prijãmi and qrbblali. Shevoroshkin 2012a:459 suggests an etymological connection between qaja- and CLuw. ḫuwayalla/i- ‘witness (?)’, an epithet of the Sun-god. The etymological comparison, though possible, is unprovable. Gehrisch 2018a:110 claims that qajã is a pronoun ‘him’ without giving any justification.
