Transmission and Research History

This fragment belongs to a right column of a double-columned tablet. Its provenance is unknown. The small size of the fragment and the lack of characteristic signs are not conducive to paleographic dating. It was published in transliteration and implicitly attributed to the Kuwattalla tradition in Starke 1985, 169–70.

§ 1' Fragmentary Hittite passage

§§ 2'–3' Ablution of the ritual patron, with its Luwian incantation

§ 4' Ritual waving of an object over the ritual patron

The list of miasma defines this fragment as part of the Kuwattalla tradition. Since the ablution rites are typical of various versions of the Kuwattalla tradition and may occur several times in the course of the ritual, no further specification is possible.

## Commentary

**r.col. 3'–5'**: Since the following paragraph clearly points in the direction of the ablation rite, this passage can be approximately restored based on KUB 35.51 ii? 12'–14' (CTH 760.3.a, § 3').

**r.col. 6'**: The non-reduplicated stem /ilxa-(di)/ contrasts with the reduplicated stem /ililxa-(i)/, used in similar contexts in KUB 32.9(+) (CTH 761.1.f) and KUB 35.62 (CTH 763.2.14).

The diction of the Luwian incantation in § 2', which might belong to a purification rite, less likely to a substitution rite, is conducive to assigning it to the Kuwattalla tradition, but it is impossible to say anything about its specific version.

## Commentary

4'-5': Taking the miasma from the head and other body parts of the ritual patron is the typical function of animal substitutes within the Kuwattalla tradition, see e.g. KUB 35.43+ ii 12-15 (CTH 761.3.8). Nevertheless, the relevant collocations normally deploy different verbal forms derived from the verb 'to take' than the one recon-

§§ 1'–2' Fragmentary passage probably describing a spitting rite, with its Luwian incantation

§§ 3'–4' Fragmentary Hittite passages

The mention of the standard list of miasma and the Old Woman suggests beyond a reasonable doubt that the fragments belong to the Kuwattalla tradition, although there are no clues to specify its version. Interestingly, the scribal hand is the same as that of IBoT 3.96+, a tablet reflecting the Puriyanni tradition (CTH 758.3.1; see Fig. 2.4).

Commentary

**l.col. 2'**: The form *un-ni-ia*, if interpreted as complete, may represent a 2sg.imper. de-rived from the hypothetical stem /unnija-/, a cognate of Hitt. *unna*-(bī) ‘to lead here’.

If one assumes that -un-ni-ia is the final part of a segment, this increases the likeli-
hood of it being a noun or adjective endowed with the suffix /-(ja/i)-/ (e.g. [kal-du]-
un-ni-ia ‘thrashing’).

dating is uncertain (but see the commentary). The fragment was edited in translitera-
tion in Starke 1985, 393.

Commentary

3': While the small size of the fragment complicates its paleographic dating, the use of the heterogram BE-EL SÍSKU[R] represents an argument for its archaic or archaizing character (see Appendix II).

Transmission and Research History

This New Script fragment was found in the Temple I area. It contains a part of a left column and a small portion of the intercolumnium. The upper part of the fragment seems to have been broken along one of the paragraph lines. The fragment was published in transliteration in Starke 1985, 394–95.

§ 1' Unclear

§§ 2'–3' Fragmentary Hittite passage describing an unclear rite that mentions the limbs, with its Luwian conjuration

The treatment of individual body parts of the ritual patron represents a shared feature of the Tunnawiya and Kuwattalla tradition. Since the Luwian incantations are much more common in the Kuwattalla rituals, we tentatively assign the fragment to this group, but the matter cannot be considered settled.

§ 2' Unclear

The fragment shows the same scribal hand as IBoT 3.96+ (CTH 758.3.1; see Fig. 2.4). Nevertheless, it cannot be attributed to this tablet with any certainty, because the fragment ABoT 2.239 (CTH 763.2.18), probably reflecting the Kuwattalla tradition, also shows the same ductus.

§ 1' Fragmentary Luwian blessing formula; Hittite line mentioning a figurine

The ritual use of figurines is attested in both Puriyanni and Kuwattalla traditions. The blessing formula is indeed reminiscent of the Kuwattalla tradition; but in view of its fragmentary character and the lack of precise parallels, we prefer not to prejudge the choice between these two options.

Commentary

iii 1': Or perhaps the determinative D?

iii 2'-3': Despite the partial preservation of the relevant forms, it is tempting to consider them as elements of a fixed formula comparable with KUB 17.10 i 11' ša-al-ḫi-an-ti-en ma-an-ni-it-ti-en 'growth and proliferation' in the myth of Telipinu, a collo-cation adapted from Luwian. For the stem ma-an-ni- 'to be fruitful, multiply', see Rieken forthcoming.

iii 4': For the interpretation of the Luwian fate deity as D**GUL-za-** /kʷantsa-/- rather than D**gul-za-**, see Waal 2014 and Yakubovich 2014.

**iii 5'**: For Luw. /mannustarr(a/i)-/ ‘(possession of) potency’, a derivative of /mannu-/

cussion of Luw. /mannawallaimm(a/i)-/ ‘strengthened’ in CTH 761.2.1.d.

**iii 6'–7'**: For the combination of ‘virility’ and ‘long years’ in a recurrent blessing formula, see for example KUB 35.16(+) i 11’–12’ (CTH 760.3.b). We lack, however, independent evidence that the phrase ‘long years’ can occur in the singular in Luwian. An alternative way to analyze *a-ar-ra-ia-an-za* is to take it as a dat.pl. form.
