| 2384 | ENT_PHRYG_MATAR | reception_of | ENT_LUW_KUBABA | high | The Phrygian "Matar Kubileya" (Mother Kubileya) directly incorporates the name Kubaba of Carchemish in her epithet "Kubileya" — the phonological shift Kubaba → Kubileya is a regular Phrygian adaptation of the Luwian theonym. This is one of the most etymologically secure deity receptions in Anatolian religious history. The transmission route is geographic: the Luwian/Neo-Hittite states of SE Anatolia (principally Carchemish) bordered and influenced the Phrygian highlands, and the adoption of Kubaba's name and enthroned-queen-with-lion iconography into the Phrygian Matar tradition is consistent with the archaeological and linguistic evidence. Combined with the already-existing ENT_CYBELE reception_of ENT_PHRYG_MATAR, this relationship completes the chain: Kubaba → Matar Kubileya → Cybele.
