1.1.3Graphic Features
Checked against the photographs in the Konkordanz. Pace the autography, the first sign of the attestation in KBo 2.4 iv 9’ looks more like the sign <du> than <dup>, especially if one compares the other attestations with the sign <du>. False reading with <du-up-> in Haas 1970a:286.

1.1.4Meaning
The duppašḫainzi-stew is offered in a small bowl to the Storm-god of Nerik along with other things. It is surely a derivative in -ai(ya)- of the base found in LÚ.MEŠtuppašḫaš ‘(a cult official related to the kitchen)’ (HEG T:447). No semantics have been posited due to the obscure etymology of the name (cf. Haas 1970a:282f. “d.-Gericht” 286f. “d.-Brei”, HEG T:447 “duppašḫai-Suppe”, Görke 2013a:129 “a kind of soup”). A connection with the Luwian root of dūp(a)i-(di) ‘to strike’, i.e. PIE *steu̯p-, is possible, and would show the survival of the non-lenited variant. However attractive this scenario may be, it is difficult to prove and best classified as tentative until further evidence surfaces.

1.1.5Stem
The substantivized adjective duppašḫai(ya)- is derived from the base duppašḫa- c. via the relational adjective -i(ya)-, i.e. -ai(ya)- to non-mutated a-stems.
[D.S.]
1.1.6Origin
Because of the Luwian ending -inzi, the word has been taken as a Luwianism in Hittite context (Haas 1970a:292, HEG T:447, Görke 2013a:129, also included in DCL:s.v.). An etymological connection with CLuw. dupšaḫit- is not impossible (thus Haas ibid.), although nothing supports this assumption. Whether the base found in LÚ.MEŠduppašḫa- is also Luwian or simply Hittite is not possible to ascertain for now, since the abstract suffix -ašḫa- is common to both languages.
