Gli avverbi di luogo ittiti in -an: forme di nominativo accusativo neutro singolare?

Abstract

Some scholars considered O(ld) H(ittite) local adverbs andan, āppan, kattan, peran, šer to be
nom(inative) acc(usative) n(euter) s(ingular) substantives. To prove this, they provided some
syntactic occurrences, in which these local adverbs would be constructed as nom. acc. n. s. nouns.
This hypothesis is implausible, because these local adverbs have locative function («where?»), not
directive («to what place?») in OH, as the accusative case (accusative of direction) with motion
verbs.
