The lexeme is found in lists of adjectives qualifying threatening acts such as curses and perjury. Thus, the adjectives assign them to potential opponents, among them the living and the dead.

The semantic interpretation of ḫuitwāli(ya)- ‘related to a living person’ depends entirely on that of ḫuitwal(i)- ‘living, alive’ and has long entered the handbooks (for references, see under lemma ḫuitwāli(ya)-). The relevant discovery was made by Carruba 1982a, who used combinatory arguments to demonstrate that the attestations cited under Forms have to be distinguished from those of ḫuitwal(i)-. Instead, they belong to a relational adjective in mutating -i(ya)- derived from that word and, accordingly, show different formal features such as the ending -iyan in the nom./acc. sg. n. (instead of the zero-ending) and the plene spelling of the nom. sg. c. -Ci-i-iš (instead of -Ci-iš) (see also Melchert 1990a:201 and CLL:iv, contra Starke 1990a:63f.).
