𒅗𒆷𒀭𒃰𒁺

Etymology
Uncertain. Kloekhorst points to *glo-n-ǵʰ-ei as its Proto-Indo-European form and kalank- as its stem. See for further information.

Verb
(third-person imperative active singular)


 * 1) to soothe, to satiate, to satisfy

Inflection
Attestations are limited to 𒅗𒆷𒀭𒃰𒁺 (ka-la-an-kad-du /kalanka(d)du/, third-person imperative active singular) and 𒅗𒆷𒀭𒅗𒀭𒍝 (ka-la-an-ka-an-za /kalankanz/, participle), which is also found as 𒂵𒆷𒀭𒅗𒀭𒍝 (ga-la-an-ka-an-za /galankanz/). Kloekhorst argues that it is probably a ḫi-conjugated form, as he explains “The only finite form of this verb, 3sg.imp.act. kalankaddu points to an original mi-conjugation. Nevertheless, since this form is attested in a NS text, it may not be reliable. Since mi-verbs that end in -nk- always show i-vocalism (e.g. li(n)k-zi, ni(n)k-zi, ḫuni(n)k-zi, ḫarni(n)k-zi, nini(n)k-zi, etc.) it is in my view unlikely that this verb was mi-conjugated originally. The stem kalank- much better fits ḫi-inflected verbs like kānk-i / kank- ‘to hang’ or ḫamank-i / ḫame/ink- ‘to tie’. This is the reason that I cite this verb as kalank-i (a similar reasoning in Oettinger 1979a: 149)”.
