1.1.2Forms
| nom. sg. (?) | ḫa-ap-pa-aš-ḫa-an-da-[aš] | KUB 35.128 iii 2’ | (CTH 765, MS) |
| [ḫa-a]p-pa-aš-ḫa-an-da-aš | KUB 35.128 iii 4’ | (CTH 765, MS) | |

Restoration and assignment of the form at KUB 35.128 iii 3’ following Starke 1990a:253, but not assured (cf. also CLL:55). – That the form in -aš, which looks more Hittite than Luwian, is a nom. sg. is less than certain as no syntactic information can be drawn from the fragment.

1.1.4Meaning
Due to the fragmentary context, no semantic interpretation is possible.
[E.R.]
1.1.5Stem
If the form is proper Luwian, it is probably the nom. sg. c. of a non-mutating a-stem. However, no attractive analysis of its stem formation offers itself. An etymological connection to the root ḫap(p)- ‘to join, attach’ is possible; cf. ḫappašḫā-.
