A Comparative Linguistic Study of the Verbal Morphology of Hieroglyphic Luvian

象形文字的Luvian动词分为两组：在3sg中-t-和-r-交替出现。结尾和那些有-t-的永远不要与-r-交替。这种现象不仅局限于象形文字，在楔形文字和吕西亚语中也有类似的现象。这些语言中的动词在3sg的结尾总是有松弛或紧张的肺泡。处于中间位置的在象形文字的Luvian动词中，没有任何例子以更古老的3sg为特征。以*-o结尾，没有-t-。然而，形态变化在3 sg。中被动词尾，-a→-ta和-a→-atta，在有证据证明的赫梯历史上仍在使用。这一事实无疑表明，^*-不可能是在安纳托利亚分支从印欧语系中分离出来的时候产生的，这与一般认为^*-和^*-o都必须重构为3sg的观点相反。母语中的中被动词尾。本研究阐明的安纳托利亚语动词的形态历史表明，安纳托利亚语仍然保留着一种非常古老的古语，在重建原始印欧语语言系统中起着重要作用。

Hieroglyphic Luvian verbs are divided into two groups: those which have -t- alternating with rhotacized -r- in 3 sg. ending and those which have -t- never alternating with rhotacized -r-. This phenomenon is not limited to Hieroglyphic Luvian, but is observed in Cuneiform Luvian and Lycian in a similar manner. The verbs in these languages consistently have either lax or tense alveolar in the endings of the 3 sg. In an intervocalic position.There are not any examples in Hieroglyphic Luvian verbs that are characterized by more archaic 3 sg. ending *-o without -t-. However, the morphological changes in 3 sg. mediopassive endings, -a → -ta and -a → -atta, were still operating during attested Hittite history.This fact undoubtedly shows that ^*-to cannot have been created when the Anatolian branch split off from the rest of the Indo-European family, contrary to the generally accepted view that both ^*-to and ^*-o must be reconstructed as 3 sg. mediopassive endings in the parent language.The morphological history of Anatolian verbs clarified in this study shows that they still preserve an archaism of remarkable antiquity which plays an important role in reconstructing the Proto-Indo-European verbal system.
