1.1.4Meaning
The participle paparkantāimma designates objects not explicitly mentioned, to which the river Mala does something (The verb is probably rendered with KI.MIN, whose reference is unclear due to the fragmentary state of the tablet.); see Rieken & Sasseville 2019a:526-528. Based on the parallel with šakaldamma ‘scratched (?)’, paparkantāimma should refer to the damaged state of the objects.

1.1.5Stem
Morphologically, paparkantāimma/i- is most easily understood as a participle of a reduplicated denominative verb in -a(i)-(di) or -(a)i-(di)́, derived from a (substantivized) participle in -nt(i)- to a root verb *park-(ti) (or *parka-(i)). For the type, cf. Hitt. ištantā(i)-(mi) ‘to linger, be late’.
