The sole attestation of the word occurs in a Luwian letter.

[E.R.]

nom./acc. pl. n. or dat. sg. (?)

On account of the combination with the preceding nom./acc. pl. n. in -ašša (with the enclitic particle =pa), kuwazza can be tentatively analyzed as nom./acc. pl. n. as well (after Yakubovich 2017d). On the other hand, if the word before is a neuter s-stem with the particle =ša in the singular, a dative singular interpretation for kuwazza would appear preferable.

Due to the incomprehensible context, the semantics of kuwazza remain opaque (CLL:119).
