Abstract: "The probable verb qñta-, thus corresponding to Greek ἐργάζειν, is explained as an extension of qã- < *gwhen- ‘slay, kill’, like Latin -fendere. The personal name Xesñtedi = Kεσινδηλις is corrected to Xesñtei analogous to Tebursseli, both going back to an ethnonym in the language of the Lycian poems (Lycian B). The place name *Xesñti may be linked with Lycian A χaha-, which could correspond to Late Luwian /hasa-/ ‘satiety’ or similar, signifying ‘having satiety’. The personal name Sbelimi is probably derived from esbe- ‘horse’, as ‘herding horses’. The second member -sñni ‘(2/3)-year-old’ is explained by Gothic asans ‘harvest time’ and its cognates, including Armenian ašun, postulating PIE *h2s > Lycian s. Xϑϑãn- is explained by Latin ador ‘spelt’, Gothic isk- ‘seed’ and Armenian hat ‘grain, seed’, hence possibly signifying ‘granary’".] Neue Abfrage | New Search
