The assignment of a-la-la-[ at KBo 29.6 rev. 9’ is not assured, but supported by the parallel context of KUB 35.13 (see Sasseville 2021a:559-561). For the attestation of KBo 47.290, see Sasseville 2020a:51.

The noun occurs in several sets of clauses, featuring a parallel structure within each set, in a slot X that is filled with various words for body parts elsewhere, e.g., X-ati=ti(y)=ata zaš mūwai “This one overcomes it with (his) X body part” (KUB 35.24, 8’-10’, Mouton, Puértolas Rubio & Yakubovich, pers. comm., and here under the lemma of CLuw. *nawa/i-). On this account, already Otten 1953a:104 assumed that ālālatta(/i)- designates a body part. He is followed in DLL:25, CLL:7, HHw:13, Yakubovich 2017d, and Mouton, Puértolas Rubio & Yakubovich, pers. comm.).

With only oblique case forms attested, the stem is either a mutated common gender stem in -att(i)- or a neuter in -att(a)-.
