*314

Status: proposed. A proposed value.

Evidence: DU-*314-RE (KOZa1) stands in formula slot 2, where HTZb160 writes DU-PU₂-RE. bu and ḥa about even (bu KA-*314-SI, ḥa RA-*314-RA, tie *314-TA-MA); DU and RE dotted on KOZa1, so ḥa stays

/pu/Variant of PU₂ (BU): DU-*314-RE (KOZa1) = DU-PU₂-RE dubur 'sanctuary' (PKZa15, HTZb160), giving dubur ʾIda 'the sanctuary of Ida'; Facchetti (1999, 132), Owens (1999), Valério, Davis (2013, 44 n. 46), Thomas (2020, 8); Younger transcribes *314 as PU₃; Soldani 2013 (46 n. 3): A314 'sostituisce forse A29' in du-bu-re

Forms cited for the value

  • DU-*314-RE (KOZa1) is read as a PU₂ variant, dubur (see alternates); du ḥōr(e) withdrawn
  • *314-TA-MA = ḥatam 'seal' on roundel PHWc38 (√ḥ-t-m pan-Semitic)
  • RA-*314-RA = Egyptian Rꜥ-Ḥr 'Ra-Horus' (HTWc3006 theophoric name)

Note

Candidate pharyngeal/velar fricative sign, with a competing PU₃/PU₂ value. *314-TA-MA and RA-*314-RA motivate /ḥa/ or /ḫa/ provisionally; DU-*314-RE instead supports PU. ARKH3b […]-PI-*314(?) is broken before PI, PI overlies an erasure, and the sign is conventionally PU₃, so it supplies no independent support for Luwian piḫa-. || bu, a PU₂ variant, is another possible value: DU-*314-RE takes the slot of DU-PU₂-RE, but GORILA IV 20 dots DU and RE; KA-*314-SI kabsi 'young ram' (CAD K 23) and *314-TA-MA bṭm 'pistachio' (DULAT 249; TA dotted) read under it.
