1.1.3.1Phonological Interpretation
With only one attestation in mainly logographic spelling, this word is yet to be fixed with a phonological interpretation. No links to any cognates have been suggested so far that could shed further light on the form.

1.1.4Meaning
The meaning is assigned tentatively by Hawkins 2000a:356f. based on the logograms used, which suggest a meaning such as ‘put-up houses’ vel sim., and the context of attestation. ANCOZ 7, §4 reads: za-zi-i-pa-wa/i URBS-ni-i-zi-´ DEUS-na-si-i DOMUS.PONERE-ti-zi za-a-zi-ha u?-x(-)PRAE-ia-zi kwa/i-i-sa i-mára/i-sa-na (DEUS)CERVUS3-ia á-lá/í (DEUS)AVIS (DEUS)SOL-ti (DEUS)i-ku+ra/i (DEUS)ta-sà-ku ARHA CAPERE-i, approx. /zanzi=ba=wa …-ninzi massanasi …-tinzi zanzi=ha usuppariyanzi kwis immarassan Runtiya ala Kubaba Tiwadi IKura Tasku ahha lai/, translating as ‘(He) who takes away these cities, habitations of the gods, and these usuppariya- from (the stag-god) Runtiya of the Open Country, (the goddess) Lady Kubaba, (the sun-god) Tiwad, (the god) Ikura, (the god) Tasku’ (cf. Hawkins 2000a:356). Additional textual data may result in a reappraisal of the semantics.

1.1.5Stem
Mainly unclear. The word is evidently a common gender noun, likely with i-mutation. Its stem perhaps ends in /-att(i)-/ or /-ad(i)-/, well-known suffixes for secondary nouns (cf. Yakubovich 2015b:6.2), but others are possible, too.
