On account of the suffix -amma/i-, Laroche (in DLL:44, tentatively followed in CLL:64) considered an analysis as the participle of a verb *ḫat-, the putative match of Hitt. ḫat- ‘to dry, to become parched’. In contrast, Yakubovich 2017d translates CLuw. ḫatamma/i- as ‘terrible (?)’, probably assuming that it is a cognate of the Hieroglyphic-Luwian adverb /hadamma/ ‘terribly, vigorously (?)’. The contexts offer little to support either of these interpretation (HHw:47 with translation).
