Again on the Xanthos Pillar ha͂tahe. Between combinatory analysis and Greek epigraphic interference

In this article, I revisit the existing proposals for the meaning of ha͂tahe and offer a new interpretation, taking as a starting point the internal evidence from Lycian, and trying to align the synchronic developments with the word’s elusive morphosyntactic features. Secondly, I examine the evidence provided by semantic typology and epigraphic genre interference to explore the origin and function of ha͂tahe within its cultural, historical, and epigraphical context, with the aim of introducing a more multidisciplinary approach into the debate.
