✦ Synopsis

and C. Melchert of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill for their valuable remarks on the early versions of this article, as well as to the lively audience of the Fifth International Congress of Hittitology, Çorum, Turkey 2002, where a version of it was first presented. All shortcomings, of course, are mine alone. Abbreviations in the text of the article are those of the Chicago Hittite Dictionary (CHD). In particular, OH/MH/NH refer to the Old, Middle, and New Hittite texts respectively, while OS/ MS/LS denote the Old, Middle, and Late Script (ductus) of individual tablets.

The words and phrases whose syntactic behavior is addressed in the present article are set in bold type in each of the examples cited. I use single and double asterisks in order to mark reconstructed and nonexistant forms respectively.

1 For the definition, see S. Luraghi, Hittite (Munich and Newcastle, 1997), p. 10 (s 2.1.5.4).

2 Cf. the translation of Goetze in ANET, 3d ed., p. 393: "But in the land which thou madest the cedar-land thou bearest the name Hebat."
