As emended by Rieken E. 1999a, 198 n. 925; cf. KUB 26.1 IV 46. However, CHD Š, 360 lists the root form as collec. nom.-acc. neut., although usually this is found with possessive enclitics. |
Following Sakuma Y. 2009b, II, 464, this is the oracular response (“Thus (says) …: it was confirmed”). The formula lacks the expected =wa(r) particle (direct speech). For a more detailed discussion on this passage, see Introductio. The Hitt. locution [kī] … kuit, with this meaning, might be restored.
From te-/tar- ‘to call’, or perhaps tarai-/tari- ‘to exert oneself, to become tired’? Note that Kloekhorst A. 2008a, 840-841, lists another verb, dāriye/a-, sometimes understood as ‘to call upon the gods’, but which in his view is not connected with either of them; its meaning is uncertain, but in several contexts, it “seems to denote an action performed on an ill person in order to heal him”. For the present translation see similarly Hout Th.P.J. 1998c, 39: “they will give as much compensation as the number of years [the festival? was left unc ]elebrated”. Compare the passage in KUB 26.1 IV 46-48, discussed in CHD P, 271. For the negative meaning of the expression ‘to turn up the mantel’ in Hittite, see CHD Š, 362 j; Melchert H.C. 1983b. |
