Abstract
- The paper addresses several issues concerning interpretation of two Hieroglyphic- Luwian inscriptions from Cilicia (the KARATEPE and ÇİNEKÖY bilinguals). It is suggested that ÇİNEKÖY §§ 8–10 (new numbering) describes drainage of marshlands, with the hieroglyphic combination FONS.*311 concealing luliyasḫa- 'marshland'. A similar interpretation can be further proposed for KARATEPE §§ 11–13 in which the old crux (*255)mara/i-ia-ní- is interpreted as a reflex of PIE *mori- 'sea, lake' and verb ARḪA ma-ki-sa- as 'drain' (etymologically connected with PIE *mok- 'wet'). A separate section (§ 3) discusses the semantics of the suffix -an- seen in mariyani- and its relationship to the 'Hoffmann suffix' (-Hon-). [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
