= Puhvel J., Entia non multiplicanda: the case of Hittite suwaru, in: Aramazd 14/1-2 60-61. [Abstract: Hittite suwaru is usually taken as two unrelated homophones, an adjective-adverb ‘full(y)’ and
an obscure noun denoting a ritually used vegetal substance. Author has since 1981 argued for unitary
suwaru ‘heavy’ cognate with Lithuanian svarùs. All occurrences are explained by a proto-meaning ‘heavy,
dense, solid’ in antonymy to ‘fluid, liquid’. Communis opinio is a needless breach of Occamic principle.] Neue Abfrage | New Search
