This article discusses the problematic aspects of the synchronic and diachronic interpretation of Hittite dapi(a)-, dapit/d-, dapiant– ‘all, every, each; entire’. It will be argued that earlier treatments of these words, including ones that propose Luwian origins for them, cannot explain these problems. Instead, a new, Hittite-internal analysis of these words is presented which states that they in fact contain a logogram, DA.BI, and actually are logographic renderings (DA.BI(-a)-, DA.BI-t/d-, DA.BI-ant-) of Hitt. ḫūmant– ‘all, every, each; entire’.
