1.1.4Meaning
The āppuwaninzi occur in a context, in which certain deities are being “stopped” (CLuw. ari-(ti) ‘to raise’). Melchert (CLL:24) suggests a landscape feature.Laroche 1959a:29 and Steitler 2017a:396 do not suggest any translation. Due to the nature of the context, any suggestion is possible and therefore a cognate is necessary. One should perhaps compare Pal. āppū- and its derivatives.

1.1.5Stem
The word appears to be a formation in -an(i)- c. (< *-ó-no-), although a defect spelling of -ann(i)- (< *-é-no-) cannot be excluded either. One should compare the potentially related verb Pal. āppū-.
