In a comparative analysis with KUB 35.148 + KUB 7.57 iii 41, Sasseville 2019a:25 and Sasseville & Yakubovich 2018a show that Palaic kuwalima corresponds to Hitt. ḫīlaš (pl.) ‘stockyard’; cf. Neu 1968a:162 n. 1. Therefore, the meaning ‘stockyard’ is assigned for Pal. kuwalima. No semantic assignment is offered in Carruba 1970a:61, Carruba 1972a:30.

2. Reconstruction
2.1Reconstruction
The word kuwalima ‘stockyard’ can be analyzed as a derivative in -i-ma- c. (cf. Hittite -i-ma- c. in Oettinger 2001b) from the root kuwal- (or better from an unattested derivative in -iye/a-) related to the Proto-Indo-European root *ku̯el(h1)- ‘to turn’, which is amply attested in Luwian, see under lemma PAnat. *ku̯el-.
