The form cited as a Luwianism in van den Hout 2006a:250 appears in a MS fragment of the enthronement ritual of Teššup and Hebat.

(CTH 700, MS)

In van den Hout 2006a:250, the word is cited as alaššiya- with a single -l- (instead of correct -ll-). This error is certainly the reason why van den Hout did not recognize its appurtenance to Hurrian allašše ‘ladyship’ (on this word, see Richter 2012a:13f.).
