Some of the restorations listed here (following Sasseville 2020d:249) are very tentative. The same applies to ši-i-r[u?-ut-ti- at KBo 46.275 (thus Sasseville 2021b:179).

1.1.5Stem
As plausibly argued by Sasseville 2020d:249, the plene spelling of the ending points to a stem in -i(ya)-, presumably an adjective. He assumes a suffix -utt(i)-. This would leave a base *šīr(i)-, perhaps a syncopated form of *šiyar(i)-, but needless to say, the preceding analysis crosses the line into speculation.
