Phrygian: artimis-

Part of speech: f.

Meaning: PN, –Artemij

Attested forms: gen.sg. ar·timitos Vez 3

Etymological comments:

See Neumann 1997: 20f.
Gusmani ( Gusmani - G. Polat 1999: 156, fn. 59) mentions Myc. a-ti-mi-te, Gr. dial. 'Artemit- / 'Artamit-, Lyd. Artimu-, and the "Phrygian" form, given by Timotheos as –Artimij (with reference to L. Innocente, Plurilinguismo 5, 1998, 161ff.).

Phrygian: ar

Part of speech: particle

Attested forms: ²ar-t Vez 8

Contexts: Vez 8 ... yos ²niy ²art sint im·enan ka·ka os·kavos kakey ...

Etymological comments: Neumann 1997: 23 compares Gr. ¥r.

Phrygian: as

Part of speech: prep. (+ acc.)

Meaning: `to'

Attested forms:

aj + tian 14 53 67 99;
+ batan 33, [a<j>] 36;
+ anankai 35;
+ (semoun) knouman 31;
aasknou[ ? 20 (see Brixhe 1997: 50f.)

Etymological comments:

Usually explained from *Œs < *ens < PIE*h₁ens (Gr. e„j, Cret. and Arg. ™nj). Brixhe 1990: 75 hesitatingly opts for a gen.sg. of the pronoun *e/o-, which is hardly feasible because of the vocalism.
For 35. aj anankai with dat. instead of acc. see Brixhe 1993: 341f., Brixhe 1997: 51f.

Phrygian: ataniyen(-)

Part of speech: m.

Meaning: PN

Attested forms: nom.sg. ataniyen W-01c

Contexts: W-01c ataniyen : kuryaneyon : tan ²egertoy

Etymological comments: The dedicational character of the inscription makes it probable that ataniyen is a personal name in the nominative. Since the ending -en can reflect neither PIE *-Œn, nor PIE *-¡n, we probably have to conclude that the name is non-IE ( Lubotsky 1988a: 23). Orel 1997: 40 compares Hitt. Attaniya.

Phrygian: atas-

Part of speech: m.

Meaning: PN

Attested forms:

nom.sg. ]a·t·as· G-119, ²atas Dd-101, [?]atas G-221; ataskek-[ G-128 ?; ata G-107; G-118; G-224A; G-234;
dat.sg. a·tai ² W-10

Etymological comments: A typical Anatolian PN, cf. Hitt. Atta, Lyd. Atas´, etc. ( Zgusta 1964: 105-108).

Phrygian: (a)teamas

Meaning: a part of the grave or monument

Attested forms:

dat.sg. teamaj 115, tiamaj 87; dat.sg. atea·maj 112, atea·m·[aj] 102, <ad> ateama·j 14;
dat.pl. (?) ateamaij 120; at·i·ama ? 18

Etymological comments:

This word, which refers to the monument or its part, seems to be uninflected (but cf. ateamaij 120, which is a more probable analysis than ateama ij, given by the editors [ Brixhe - Drew-Bear 1997: 86ff.]), which may point to a borrowing. The variants with and without initial a- are reminiscent of Gr. ¢d£maj `hard, hard metal, stone', MLat. diamas `diamond'. It is conceivable that atiamaj / ateamaj means `stone' and is related to these words ( Lubotsky 1998, fn. 3)
Brixhe 1997: 48 hesitatingly explains the variants by assuming a compound with ad- (+ teamaj).

Phrygian: ates

Part of speech: m.

Meaning: PN (= Attis?)

Attested forms:

nom.sg. ates M-01a, [?]ates ² W-08, [?]ates G-123, ?]ates·¢[? G-124, ]a·tes G-148, ates Bay?nd?r 1-7;
gen.sg. ²atevo ² W-10

Contexts:

M-01a ates : arkiaevais : akenanogavos : midai : lavagtaei : vanaktei : edaes
W-08 atesagomoi / sa-tatedaes / alussiceto / BatelesBaB-
W-10 a·taiedaele-avo / vi|eatevoatoios / alu·ssi|etodas

Etymological comments: A common Anatolian name, cf. Lyd. Ates´, Atthj, Pisid. Atthj ( Zgusta 1964: 105ff.). Varinliog¹lu 1992: 16 argues that the name may refer to Attis, as a symbol of life after death, because the Bay?nd?r inscriptions are all found in a tumulus.

Phrygian: auto-

Part of speech: adj.

Meaning: `self'

Attested forms:

nom.sg.m. autoj 33 36; a[u]toj ? 72;
acc.sg. avtun in venavtun W-01b;
dat.sg. avtoi T-03;
dat.sg.f. avtay W-01b; autai 116 (oe autai).
Also as a part of the collocution ven avtun `himself' (acc.sg.m.) and oe autai `for herself' (dat.sg.f.).

Etymological comments: Etymologically identical with Gr. aÙtÒj `self'. This word must represent a common innovation of the two languages.

Phrygian: avara

Part of speech: v.

Meaning: `?'

Attested forms: [?]avara·[?] M-04

Contexts: M-04 a·kinanogavan· : tiyes / mod·rov·anak : [?]avara·[?]

Etymological comments: The OPhr. inscription M-04 is written on a Kybele's throne. akinanogavan is acc.sg. fem. of Kybele's title ("high priestess"?), cf. Lubotsky 1988a: 12. In the same article I suggested that Tiyes is the nom.sg. of a theonym (=Zeus), which appears in NPhr. inscriptions (acc.sg. tian, gen. tioj, dat. ti(e/h)). It is however more probable that this is the name of the ruler, who bears the title Modrovanak "the king of Modra" ( Neumann 1986b). The verbal form avara· is likely to mean something like "to seat (on the throne), to elevate" and can be connected with Gr. ¢e…rw `to elevate, raise' < *h₂u¸er-i¸o-. The morphological analysis of avara· is difficult. A possible interpretation is 1sg. aorist (*h₂u¸Œr-, cf. Gr. ¥hra (Thera)), if we read the Phrygian form as avara·[n]. The tentative translation of M-04 is then: "I, Tiyes, the king of Modra, have elevated (seated on the throne) the high priestess (=Kybele)". Cf. for the meaning the hieroglyphic Luwian inscription Karkami« A11b (A9), 6. 17: wa/i-ma-ta´ ´ | za||-ti-i ("PODIUM")hu-ma-ti | (SOLIUM)i-sa°-nu´-wa/i-ha "and I myself seated them (= Kubaba and Karhuhas) on this podium" ( Hawkins 2000: 103), A21 6. 8 wa/i-ta°-na zi/a-ti LOCUS^?-ti SOLIUM-nu´-ta´ "and her (= Kubaba) they (my fathers) seated in this precinct" ( Hawkins 2000: 160).

Phrygian: Baba-

Part of speech: m.

Meaning: PN

Attested forms: nom.sg. Baba M-01b, B·a·b·a· G-121, Ba·b·a· G-184, ²8a8·[?] W-08, Bab[... G-253 ²Babas ² G-06, [B]abas M-03 (]abas-im·an·-akio[)

Spelling variants: Here also Bba M-02 with a defective spelling.

Etymological comments: A PN of an Anatolian origin, cf. Bithyn. and Lydian Babaj, Carian Babhj, Pisid. Babij ( Zgusta 1964: 113-114). Orel 1997: 12 also points to Thracian B£baj.
