1.1.4Meaning
The meaning is suggested tentatively by Yakubovich 2016a:80, following Hawkins 1979b:153f. with connecting it with HLuw. /pa-/ ‘to go’. SULTANHAN, §36 reads: a-ta-pa-wa/i-na ni-i-i ma-ru-ha pa-nu-wa/i-i TONITRUS-hu-za-sa tu-wa/i+ra/i-sa, approx. /anta=ba=wa=an ni maruhha panuwai Tarhunzas tuwarisa/, meaning ‘(He who afterwards shall proclaim evil against this vineyard, …, the storm-god) Tarhunt shall in no way allow him to go into the vineyard’Or should that be ‘Tarhunt of the Vineyard’ with 〈tu-wa/i+ra/i-sa〉 taken as a defective spelling for the genitive /tuwarisas/? See Sasseville 2021a:468 for a discussion. (cf. Hawkins 2000a:467, 471).In contrast to his earlier analysis, Hawkins mentions the possible connection with /pa-/ ‘to go’, but decides for /pazza-/ ‘to begin to drink’ instead.

1.1.5Stem
Deriving from the also attested verb /pa-/ ‘to go’, the verb is a stem in /-nu(wa)-(i)/, which is used to form deverbal causatives, see Sasseville 2021a:467f. and earlier Hawkins 1979b:153f.
