pinakakuAnnakan· The form, discussed by De Casparis (1956: 331), defies plausible explanation. Damais (1968: 494) wrote: Nous ne voyons pas pourquoi De C. considère comme « étrange » (note 4, mais cf. aussi la note 32) l'emploi du suffixe akan avec un radical précédé de pinaka. Ce texte prouve que c'était possible et c'est ce fait qu'il faut enregistrer. In fact, not a single case of pinaka-BASE-akən is found in OJED, so Damais' reasoning must be rejected. I see a few possibilities (split pinakakuAnn akan, emend to tinatakuAnnakan, emend to pinakakapuAnnakan), but there is insufficient context to decide. sadon· De Casparis observes (n. 24): The second syllable of this word looks rather like -dān, which does not, however, make sense. It seems that the tiny hook before the da is to be considered a taling. As a matter of fact, this vowel mark is written remarkably small in some other words, too. vinkas· vkas· sākṣiī sākṣī
