The Anatolian reflexes of Indo-European τομή-, φυγή-, τόμος-, and τομός-type nominals and their historical implications
Abstract
It is widely thought that Proto-Indo-European τόμος-type nouns are robustly continued in the Anatolian languages. I challenge this view, arguing that most of the alleged Anatolian reflexes of this class instead continue τομή- or φυγή-type nouns, or in a few cases, τομός-type adjectives. Based on this reassessment of the Anatolian evidence, I propose a new historical account of the Hittite noun-forming suffix -ā̆tar/n- in which inherited τομή- and φυγή-type nouns play a crucial role. This evidence also prompts a reevaluation of the morphology of τομή- and φυγή- type nouns in Proto-Indo-European. I present empirical and morphophonological arguments in support of the view that φυγή-type nouns were primary derivatives, whereas τομή-type nouns were derived from τομός-type adjectives with the same suffix *-eh₂-.
