B. Before r except word-initially (see ú-ra-a-ni above!)
iš-nu-u-ra- ‘kneading pan’ < *is-nú-ro- (vs. Palaic ta-šu-ú-ra-!)
ú-e/i-šu-u-ri-ya- ‘twist’ < *weis-ú-roku-u-ur-ka-
‘foal’ (cf. Grk. κύρνος) and šu-u-ur-ka/i- ‘root’ (cf. Latin surculus)
5. *ou/au > /o(:)/ spelled
mu-u-ga-i- ‘incite; goad’ < *móuko- (Melchert, FS Archi, revising Kloekhorst)
u-(i)-e-/ya- ‘drive (away), send’ < *au-Hyeh 1 -
6. PIE *w between consonants and word boundary > prehistoric *woR > /o(:)R/ spelled
a-ni-u-ur, a-ni-u-r° ‘ritual’ with postconsonantal /-o:r/ from ḫenkur etc.
an-tu-u-ri-ya- ‘interior’ < *en-dhwpíd-du-u-la-
‘loop’ hypostasized from *peth 2 w *‘spreading out’
u-ur-ki- ‘track’ < *wgiu-ur-re-er
< *wh 1 ēr
[But sequence *wCC > warCC with two consonants as in d(u)warne/a- < *dhwnh 1 -
énti; Kloekhorst 2007: 456-7.]
7. In word-final *-óm(s)# the *o did not lower to merge with /a/ and appears preserved as
/-o:n/ in ku-u-un and a-pu-u-un and the plurals ku-u-uš and a-pu-u-uš (cf. Melchert 1994:
186-7 and Kloekhorst 2008: 54&56). The vocalism of uni has been remade after the other
two demonstratives, just like *ési aši after kāš and apāš (Kloekhorst 2008: 220-21).
8. Open Issues: (1) quality of anaptyctic “u”; (2) further lowerings in NH before n and r;
(3) non-pronominal acc. pl. in -ú-uš; (4) given problems for *eu > /u:/ under 3. above,
rather give up direct equation of Hitt. ú-e- with Luvian awi- and assume zero-grade for
Hittite, thus returning to view that all *Vu > /o(:)/?

Spellings with and in Palaic
1. (/u:/) < *u
nu-ú ‘now’ < *nu
tu-ú ‘to thee’ < *tŭ
mu-ú-ši ‘you are satiated’ (P2Sg with Yakubovich, JANER 5.117 contra Melchert, KZ
97.35) < *mús-si, to imitative root of Grk. μύω ‘be satiated’, ἀμυστί ‘in one gulp’
(Eichner)
šu-ú-na-at ‘has filled’, šu-ú-na ‘fill!’ < *sú-ne-h 3 (-t) with accent retraction
ta-šu-ú-ra- ‘offering table’ (loc. sg.) *dhh 1 s-ú-ro-; cf. Hittite išnura- ‘kneading pan’,
but latter regularly iš-nu-u-ra- (including OS!)
2. /u(:)/ < *eu (probably shortened when unaccented)
i-ú ‘come!’ per Melchert (1994: 212) ~ Hitt. eḫu, but required totally ad hoc loss of -ḫ-.
Rather with Oettinger (1979: 536) = reverse of Hitt. ú-e- and Luvian awi-, thus virtual
*h 1 ei-eu (but see remark under Appendix 1, 8.).
