Abstract

The Karatepe storm god has been defined in Luwian inscriptions as Tarhunza Usanuwami, and in the Phoenician version as Baal Krntryš. The meaning of the Krntryš epithet still maintains its mystery. Location names, names and adjectives with weak probability that have been proposed by some researchers do not provide a convincing explanation. The main gods of the Neo-Hittite provinces and the main features of these gods can be different, and neglecting the Karatepe reliefs and inscriptions and looking for cult characteristics outside the region can cause wrong interpretations. There is no study in which the Usanuwami and Krntryš epithet of the storm god has been investigated in all its features. In this study, suggestions having a high probability for the word Krntryš are presented in line with the iconographic features of the Karatepe storm god. These suggestions are the combination of the words for granary (Luwian karuna, Phoenician ‘qrnt) and wine and vineyard/wine warehouse (Luwian tuwarsa-tuwarisa, Phoenician trš, plural tryš).

Özet

Karatepe Fırtına Tanrısı Luwice yazıtlarda Tarhunza Usanuwami, Fenikece yazıtlarda Baal Krntryš olarak belirtilmiştir. Krntryš epithetinin anlamı gizemini hâlâ korumaktadır. Bazı araştırmacılar tarafından önerilen olasılığı zayıf yer adları, isim ve sıfatlar ikna edici bir açıklamaya sahip değildir. Geç Hitit kentlerinin öncelikli tanrıları ve bu tanrıların öncelikli olduğu yönleri farklı olabilmektedir. Karatepe kabartmaları ve yazıtlarının göz ardı edilerek kült özelliklerinin bölge dışında aranması hatalı yorumlara neden olmaktadır. Fırtına Tanrısı’nın Usanuwami ve Krntryš epithetinin tüm yönleriyle araştırıldığı kabul gören bir çalışma bulunmamaktadır. Bu çalışmada, Karatepe Fırtına Tanrısı’nın ikonografik özellikleri doğrultusunda Krntryš kelimesi için olasılığı yüksek öneriler sunulacaktır. Bu öneriler tahıl deposu (Luwice karuna, Fenikece ‘qrnt), şarap ve üzüm bahçesi/şarap deposu (Luwice tuwarsa-tuwarisa, Fenikece trš çoğul tryš) kelimelerinin birleşimidir
