Notes from Adiego - The Carian Language, 2007, pg 347 The existence of a god name natrº, equivalent to Apollo, can be deduced from the well-known ‘translation’ Απολλόδοτος of the indigenous name Natrbbijemi in the Xanthos bilingual. The god name seems to appear directly in Carian in the form ntro- (see Chapter 11, s. v.), and can also be recognized also as intervening in the formation of several personal names from Greek sources. The clearest example is Νετερβιμος, undoubtedly the same name as Lycian Natrbbijemi. Also of this family are the names Νωτρασσις and, less clearly, Νυταρ. |
