Phrygian: is

Part of speech: preposition

Meaning: `for'

Attested forms: ij 116 (2x)

   ik· (+ k)116

Contexts: 116. ... pinke taj d·[a]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: For the analysis of the passage see Orel 1997: 133f. On p. 433 he writes: "Borrowed from Gk e„j or influenced by it". I would rather suggest a connection with Gr. ™x. See further s.v. pinke.


Phrygian: iu

Attested forms: iou / [ 31

Contexts: 31. ... -----]dekmoutahj iou /

Etymological comments: Since the end of the line seems to correspond with the end of the word in this inscription, the word may be complete. The context is fragmentary, and neither the meaning nor function is clear. Theoretically speaking, iou could be gen.sg. of the relative or anaphoric pronoun.


Phrygian: i-

Part of speech: verb

Meaning: `to go, become'

Attested forms:

   3sg. impv.act. ituv Vez 13,
eitou 2-4 8 10 17 21 25-6 28 33 37-8 40 48 53 56 62 69 72 75-6 82 86 88 93-4 96 104 112 114-5 118-9 122 124, [e·]itou 99, eito[u] 19 39 90-1, e[it]ou 6, ei[t]o[u] 78, eit[ou] 102 123, [eit]ou 14 103;
3pl. impv.act. eitt·n·o·u· 30?, [eitt]nou 7?
3sg. impv.med. eido[u] 108
+ ad-: 3sg. impv.act. adeitou 13 39 44-5 57 61 67 72 76-7 80 85 87 101 106 108, ade[i]tou 11 100, adei[tou] 51 54, [ad]eitou 65;
3pl. impv.act. adeittnou 12

Spelling variants: Spelling variants: hton (=eitou) 5, eitu 120

Etymological comments: Likely to be derived from the IE root *h1ei- `to go' in the meaning `to become'.


Phrygian: iyungid-

Part of speech: m.

Meaning: PN

Attested forms: gen.sg. (?) iyungidas Dask2

Contexts: Dask2 1. [-]t·at : sm·anes iyungidas manitos apelev porniyoy· est[-¢]

Etymological comments: According to Gusmani, gen.sg. of a patronymicon ( Gusmani - G. Polat 1999: 137-162).


Phrygian: Kaliya-

Part of speech: m.

Meaning: PN

Attested forms:

   nom.sg. kaliya Vez 1;
dat.sg. ²kal·iyay Vez 6

Contexts:

   Vez 1. sint imenan kaliya titedat·[oy]
Vez 6. nidu·s-a·kal·iyay karatu panato andop opost·o·i·s· kl·a·n·iv

Etymological comments: This PN corresponds to the name mentioned in the Greek inscription, which was added later: Kall…aj 'Abiktou pai~j hi mhghmaj ¢nšqeken ( Neumann 1997: 20).


Phrygian: kanutievais / kanutievan-

Part of speech: adj.

Meaning: patronymic, title (?)

Attested forms:

   nom.sg. k·anutieiva·i·s P-03, ²kanutie·[ P-05;
gen.sg. ²kanutii¢evanos·¢ (or -tie¢e·va-) P-02

Contexts:

   P-03. vasous ²iman ²mekas / k·anutieiva·i·s / dev·o·s ²ke ²mek·a·s
P-05. vasus ²kanutie·[
P-02. sest ²bug·nos ²va/sos ²kanutii¢evanos·¢

Spelling variants: In view of formations like arkiaevais, memevais and ²kanutii¢evanos·¢ (or -tie¢e·va-) in P-02, we have to assume that k·anutieiva·i·s in P-03 stands for *k·anuti(i)evais.

Etymological comments:

   kanutievais belongs to a group of words in -evais (arkiaevais, memevais) which follow the name in the nom.sg. and thus are either a patronymic or a title.
According to an attractive suggestion by Brixhe 1983:  4.1, XXX, ²vasos ²kanutii¢evanos·¢ in P-02 is likely to be gen.sg. of vas(o)us kanutieivais, which would mean that the stem is kanutievan- and that *-ans > -ais (for the phonetic development cf. Lesb. taij < *tanj).


Phrygian: keis-

Part of speech: verb

Meaning: `?'

Attested forms: 3pl. impv. keisnio[u] 42, keisnou 87

Contexts:

   42. ... [ze]/melwj ke [d]e[w]j me konnou keisnio[u] / ai parthj;
87. ... o·ue·laj ke / tou keisnou astoi parthj.

Etymological comments:

   The forms keisnio[u] 42, keisnou 87 are usually analysed ke isn(i)ou and connected or even identified with innou (e.g. Haas 1966: 90), presumably 3pl. impv. of the root `to be', but the contexts of innou are clearly different: 35. ioj ni sai kako/un addakem mankai aj anankai oi panta kena [i]nnou; 71 tij ke gere[n] tit tetikm[e]noi innou. Further, ke in 87 and especially in 42 (cf. Brixhe 1978b: 2) is difficult to account for. I therefore propose to take keisn(i)ou together.
The meaning of the imprecation keisn(i)ou ai/astoi parthj is unknown.


Phrygian: kei

Part of speech: (modal) particle

Attested forms: after impv.: lakedo-key W-01b, possibly also opito-[k]ey B-01.6;

   function? key Vezirhan ( Brixhe 1990): ²key Vez 9, ²key Vez 4, ²key Vez 7

Etymological comments: For the analysis of this particle see Lubotsky 1988a: 21f.


Phrygian: keneman-

Part of speech: n.

Meaning: `a niche (?)'

Attested forms: acc.sg. ²keneman M-01b

Contexts: M-01b baba : memevais : proitavos : kFiyanaveyos : si ²keneman : edaes

Etymological comments: Beekes 1969: 20 proposed to reconstruct PIE *kenh1-mn•- and connect Skt. khani- `to dig'. If this etymology is correct, the meaning of keneman- is either `a hole, niche' or may be, `an inscription' (`scratching'?).


Phrygian: kenos-

Part of speech: n.

Meaning: `generation' (?)

Attested forms: nom.pl.n. kena 35

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

Etymological comments:

   In the apodosis, panta kena must be nom.pl.n., correlated with 3pl. impv. [i]nnou, presumably a form of the verb `to be'. Since anankai is likely to correspond to Gr. ¢n£gkh, the apodosis can be rendered: `let all his kena be [delivered] to mischief'. The ending of kena must be nom.pl.n., which leads to the suggestion that kena is due to contraction from *keneha < *g´enh1es-h2 (Gr. gšnea, Lat. genera). This etymology presupposes that Phrygian had Lautverschiebung, however.
The current explanation ( Haas 1966: 119, Brixhe 1993: 341, Orel 1997: 255) operates with a borrowing from Gr. kenÒj `empty, idle' in view of common imprecations in Greek inscriptions, where Ôikon œrhmon or cÁron b…on are mentioned. The syntax is then rather strained.
