“…Cf. also recent discussions by Kim 2018 andObrador-Cursach 2019b. steed' vs. 'stubborn mule/donkey' largely entrenched in the modern perception of the domestic equids. This is true, but it seems that for understanding the cultural associations of the name *Gardabos and other donkey-names of Anatolia a passage from the Gilgamesh epic adduced by the authors themselves is much more pertinent.…”

The article discusses a complex of questions associated with the king Ḫartapus and early culture of the Phrygians. §§ 1-3 revise the evidence of the newly discovered HLuw. inscription TÜRKMEN-KARAHÖYÜK, arguing that the correct reading of king’s name in the first line is AQUILA+ra/i-tá-pu-sa = Ḫartapus, and (once again) that the king is not a conqueror, but a native king of Masa or Muška, who reigned in the late 2nd millennium BC. In §§ 4-5 it is suggested that HLuw. Ḫartapus conceals an early Phrygian name preserved in the toponym *Γαρδιβιον (*Γαρδυβιον) attested in the inscriptions of the Xenoi Tekmoreioi. §§ 6-11 argue that the name *Gardabos is connected with Sanskrit gardabhá- ‘donkey’, that it corresponds semantically to the west-Anatolian names Tarkasnawas and Tarkašnalliš, and that donkey ears of King Midas are a late ‘refraction’ of this fact. § 12 discusses the morphological structure of *Gardabos, revising the PIE suffix *-bho- and suggesting new cognates for Skr. gard- ‘shout’ (Armenian kard- and Baltic gerd-). §§ 13-14 discuss a probable steppe background of the ‘donkey-names’. In § 15 it is suggested that Phrygian name Gordis is based on the same root as *Gardabos, and some relevant Phrygian epigraphical evidence is presented. § 16 discusses a further probable Anatolian ‘donkey-name’, Mugallu and its likely cognate μύκαλος. §§ 17-18 touch upon the etymology of the ethnic names Masa and Muška, connecting them with the word for ‘mule’ preserved in the modern Balkan languages (Alb. mushk(ë) etc.), and, more speculatively, with the old Balkan word for ‘horse’ (*me(n)za-). § 19 argues that the ethnic name Φρύγες may have a similar original meaning, going back to another Balkan term for ‘donkey’, βρικός.

À partir d’une réflexion extralinguistique sur le mot phrygien βέκος, « pain », inspirée d’un article de Pietro Vannicelli de 1997, on essaiera de mettre brièvement en évidence l’appartenance du phrygien à la Balkanische Sprachbund , et en particulier le profond lien de parenté génétique avec le grec. Les deux langues sont en effet issues du même milieu linguistique balkanique, mais la migration du peuple phrygien vers l’Anatolie à la fin du ii e millénaire avant J.-C. interrompt leur continuité géographique. Le phrygien, attesté uniquement par des inscriptions étalées du ix e siècle avant J.-C. au iii e siècle après J.-C., devient alors une île linguistique balkanique entourée de plusieurs langues indigènes appartenant au groupe anatolien. Le peuple phrygien s’intègre dans ce milieu, comme les influences culturelles, mais aussi certains traits linguistiques, nous en témoignent. Toutefois les liens avec la langue sœur résistent, devenant même plus forts suite à la progressive hellénisation de la péninsule anatolienne par les Grecs, et nous fournissent à travers les inscriptions le matériel pour étudier à rebours leur parenté génétique.
