1.1.3Meaning
The word ẽndipli- is analyzed here as ipli- preceded by two preverbs, i.e. ẽn- and da- (contra Brandenstein 1931b:61). The context, in which the word ẽnḍiplint is found, is obscure and fragmentary. No meaning can be offered; cf. Gusmani 1964a:106.

1.1.4Stem
Sasseville 2021a:538f. opens the possibility of seeing a verbal suffix -in-(t), comparable to Luw. -ina-(i) and Pal. -ina-(i). This hypothesis must await further evidence.
