1.1.4Meaning
Like its base verb kup- ‘to plot, scheme’, with which kupiyat(i)- ‘plot, scheme’ forms a figura etymologica, the noun received its semantic interpretation as early as 1930 by Friedrich 1930d:288 (building on Götze 1925a:35) and has been generally accepted (for a detailed discussion, see Otten & Kühne 1971a:38f.; cf. also HW:117 and 331, DLL:57, Kronasser 1966a:237, Oettinger 1979a:204, HEG A-K:639, CLL:110, HED K:256, HHw:84, Ünal 2007a:366; slightly differently Werner 1967a:4f.: ‘Böswilligkeit’).

1.1.5Stem
Besides kup- ‘to plot, scheme’, another verb, *kupi-(ti) or *kupi(ya)-(di), must have existed and provided the base for the derivation of kupiyat(i)- with the abstract suffix -at(i)- (DLL:57 and HED K:256 comparing ipalat(i)-, Kronasser 1966a:237, Melchert 1997b:87, Sasseville 2021a:265f.; differently Starke 1990a:64 assuming a suffix -att(i)-; without distinction between -at(i)- and -att(i)-, cf. Melchert 2003b:197).
