Description
Summary:Based on the correspondences between Hurrian and Urartian obstruents and affricates the author presents her view on the proto-Hurro-Urartian phonological system and its transformation and further evolution in Hurrian and Urartian. In the second paragraph the author discusses the different reflexes of the Hurrian labial spirant and sonorant phonemes in Urartian and proposes her interpretation of the Urartian genitive/dative plural marker -ave against its singular counterpart -( i ) y (gen.)/- ye (dat.). In the last paragraph she postulates, that the vowel - i - in the imperfective/present tense ergative forms in both Hurrian and Urartian go back to the Hurro-Urartian valency marker - i /- ia .
