Zu urindogermanisch sū- und einem Toponym in Lykien

The Proto-Indo-Europeans knew the wild and probably also the domesticated pig. The PIE word *sū- for this animal is widely attested, but not in the Anatolian languages. Instead, there is another word mūtamūti- in Luwian, and the Lycian personal name Medemudi is probably derived from it. However, the PIE word may explain the toponym Σοασ/α/ or Συεσσα in Lycia, as *Suwesi in the Lycian poetical language.

Abstract

The Proto-Indo-Europeans knew the wild and probably also the domesticated pig. The PIE word *sū- for this animal is widely attested, but not in the Anatolian languages. Instead, there is another word mūtamūti- in Luwian, and the Lycian personal name Medemudi is probably derived from it. However, the PIE word may explain the toponym Σοασ/α/ or Συεσσα in Lycia, as *Suwesi in the Lycian poetical language.
