The Hieroglyphic Luwian -si Again

Abstract

The Hieroglyphic Luwian -siAgainWe recognize three attestations of the element -siattached to a verbal ending in KARKAMIŠ A11b, A12 and ALEPO 2. The author has already regarded this -sias another reflexive element comparable to the reflexive -ti. Furthermore, we can also point out four more attestations of a similar element -siin the inscriptions recently discovered at TELL AHMAR 6:huhasata-si"he himself ran" (vii and xix) and at ÇINEKÖY:iziya-si"they themselves made" (vi and vii). It should be noted that the element -siin ÇINEKÖY is attached directly to an irregularly omitted verbal formiziyaof *iziyanta"they made".
