Phrygian: Alu-

Part of speech: m.

Meaning: PN

Attested forms: nom.sg. alus W-09, alus ² W-08, W-10; alu G-204

Contexts:

   W-09 si|eto ²ae / alus ;
W-08 ates ²agomoi / sa-ta ²tedaes / alus ²siceto;
W-10 a·tai ²edae ²le-avo / vi|e ²atevo ²atoios / alu·s ²si|eto ²das;
G-204 ]d·a alu m s [

Etymological comments: A frequent Anatolian name (Lyd. Alus´, Hittite names in Cappadocia Alluwa, Aluwazi, Aluwamna, etc.), cf. Zgusta 1964: 54f. and Innocente 1990. As an alternative, Orel 1997: 48 suggests a connection with a Hesych gloss ¥luj ¢por…a. pl£noj. bl£bh.

Phrygian: ananka-

Part of speech: n.

Meaning: `(ill) fate, mischief'

Attested forms: dat.sg. (for acc.sg.?) (aj) anankai 35

Contexts: 35. ioj ni sai kako/un addakem mankai aj anankai oi panta kena [i]nnou

Etymological comments:

   Most probably, a loan-word from Gr. ¢n£gkh ( Haas 1966: 119), although Brixhe 1993: 341f. does not exclude a common origin, because the meaning `ill fate, mischief', which seems necessary for the context, is not attested in Greek.
Since the preposition aj is used with an acc. elsewhere, the dative here most probably stands for acc.sg. (cf. Brixhe 1997: 51f.).

Phrygian: anar-

Part of speech: m.

Meaning: `husband'

Attested forms: nom.sg. anar 15

Contexts: 15. xeunh tan eixa· uy·o/dan protuj s[e]stam/e·nan mankan ami·/a·sian ioi anar doruka[noj ---]

Etymological comments: Etymologically identical with Gr. ¢n»r < PIE *h2nŒr (cf. already Torp 1894: 23, Ramsay 1905: 115).

Phrygian: an

Part of speech: particle

Attested forms: [i]oj a·n· 44

See also: s.v. io-

Phrygian: a¡ro-

Part of speech: adj.

Meaning: `untimely'

Attested forms: dat.sg. awrw 88

Contexts: 88. ioj / ni semoun knoumanei kake / addaket awrw ouenaouiaj `whoever brings harm to this premature tomb of Ouenaouia...'

Etymological comments: Identical with Gr. ¢èrJ.

Phrygian: areyasti-

Part of speech: adj.

Meaning: epithet of Mother Goddess

Attested forms: acc.sg.f. areyastin W-01a

Contexts: W-01a materan : areyastin / bonok : akenanogavo·s· / vrekun : tedatoy : yostutut---a·-m-¢noy : akenanogavos / aey

Etymological comments: The etymology of this epithet is unknown. Possibly, it is bases on a toponym (cf. Brixhe 1979b).

Phrygian: argmeno-

Part of speech: part.

Meaning: `?'

Attested forms: acc.sg.f. (?) argmena-¢ 116

Contexts: 116 ... pinke taj d·-/k·erhj onomaniaij m·i·rou ik· / k·naikan edaej ij argmena-¢ / o·p·ariko oan oe autai ij ke en·¢/ tois¢inioi knouman tian te-/ -mard·i idetoi oinij

Etymological comments: The context and meaning are unclear. It is conceivable, however, that the root is the same as in argu (see s.v.).

Phrygian: argu

Part of speech: postposition

Meaning: `because of, for the sake of' (?)

Attested forms: argou 30 98

Contexts:

   30. ... ]d·oudaj akalaj eukin argou sibh/ [;
98. dakaren pa/terhj eukin / argou `the parents have erected because of a vow'

Etymological comments: Both occurrences are in the epitaphs in the expression eukin argou. Brixhe 1983: 129, Brixhe 1999: 298) convincingly analyzed eukin as a loan word from Gr. eØc» `vow' (see s.v. euki-) and argou as a postposition, governing an acc. Orel 1997: 415 takes argou to be an original gen.sg.{1} of the stem argo-, related to Gr. ¢rc» `beginning', ¢rcÒj `head, leader'.

Footnotes: {1} A dat.sg. seems more likely to me.

Phrygian: arkiaevais

Part of speech: adj.

Meaning: Patronymicon (?)

Attested forms: nom.sg. arkiaevais M-01a

Contexts: M-01a ates : arkiaevais : akenanogavos : midai : lavagtaei : vanaktei : edaes

Etymological comments:

   Possibly, a patronymic adjective, derived with the suffix -evais (cf. also memevais, kanutievais). On the basis of the gen.sg. kanutiievanos· (P-02; cf. s.v. vasu-), we may conclude that the nom.sg. in -evais goes back to *evan-s.
Neroznak 1978: 71f. suggested to see in arkia- a Greek name 'Arc…aj.

Phrygian: arosa-

Part of speech: m.

Meaning: PN

Attested forms: dat.sg. ar·osay (I†kiztepe)

Contexts: I†kiztepe mid·as ar·osay -----

Etymological comments: For the reading of this name see Brixhe 1989-1990: 64f. (see further Gusmani 1988, Orel 1996). Orel 1997: 414) compares Carian Aruassij ( Zgusta 1964: 103) from Anatolian *arau¸assa-, a derivative of *arau¸a- `free'.
