Outdated are the analyses based on erroneous word division in Carruba 1968a:13f.

Checked against the photographs in the Mainzer Fotoarchiv. – Quite exceptionally, the word is written across the line break, but see also the comment in Starke 1985b:54 n. 38.

The lexeme has remained untranslated, so far (cf. CLL:82, Tischler 2008a:57, Görke 2015a). The context of KUB 9.31 ii 31f. follows the address of the Sun-god, the paternal gods, and Ea: ⁽³¹⁾pár-na-an-za-ta ku-wa-at-ti an-da ḫu-u-i-na-i-ma-an ⁽³²⁾la-la-an-ti pa-a u-za-aš a-da-ri-ta-an “In the houses, (the one) into which they took the ḫ., eat!” While the sentence does not offer sufficient information for an assured interpretation of ḫūinaiman, it can be speculated that it is a kind of food offered to the deities. This understanding would permit to see a parallel with the preceding incantation (ii 25-28), in which other gods are requested to eat the sheep and bovine offered, but to spare the human ritual client.

[E.R.]

The stem is interpreted as a substantivized participle. However, it is unclear to which stem class the underlying verb belongs, because the attested form can show either one of two stem final suffixes, viz. -(a)i-^(di) and -a(i)-^(di).
