1.1.4Meaning
No meaning is offered in DLL:101, CLL:239, whereas HHw:183 suggests a tentative interpretation as an adverbial numeral ‘twice’ for dūwa(n), probably on etymological grounds. The lexeme is listed together with the accusatives lappiyan ‘fever’ and parninkin (with unknown meaning). Nevertheless, it is not unlikely that dūwan, too, is an accusative designating a disease.
