httẽme/i-

This lexeme is attested in various grave inscriptions from West Lycia and also in a decree from Isinda.

nom. sg.	httẽmi	TL 91.3 (Myra)
		TL 149.8 (Rhodiapolis)
	httemi	TL 65.23 (Isinda)

The meaning of httẽmi is similar to the one of its derivational base httẽm̃ ‘angry’ (cf. Neumann 1979b:262f.). However, the more precise meaning ‘anger, wrath’ is attributed by Schürr 1997b:63, who recognizes  that httẽmi is a substantive as opposed to httẽm̃; see under Stem.

[D.S.]

Schürr 1997b:63 points out rightly that httẽmi must be a substantive because of the modifying genitival adjectives, e.g. in TL 65.23f. (contra Neumann 1979b:262f.). He suggests a derivative in -i(je)-, i.e. httẽm-i(je)-. Melchert ([5699] DLL:26), on the other hand, analyses httẽmi as a substantivized participle, i.e. httẽme/i- c. Since the suffix -i(je)- is desubstantival, the latter hypothesis is morphologically more likely.
