The context of KUB 13.15 reports in direct speech the testimony of an official (^mUkkura) about his dealings with the equipment of the king: nu-wa a-na ú-nu-ut lugal ḫar-pa-na-al-la ú-ul ku-wa-pi-ik-ki i-ia-an-ni-ia-nu-un ‘I never approached the equipment of the king in a ḫarpanalla manner’ (KUB 13.35 i 11f.; modified from Werner 1967a:5 after HED H:182). The obvious relation with ḫarpanalla/i- ‘rebel, turncoat’, i.e. a ‘person who separates oneself and (re)associates oneself elsewhere’ supports Melchert’s (Melchert 2010d:185, building on Starke 1990a:232f., followed in EDHIL:311) translation ‘disloyally’ against earlier suggestions like ‘révolté’ (DLL:32, HHw:43), ‘mutwillig’ (Werner 1967a:5) and ‘hostilely’ (Rosenkranz 1938a:276, HW:330, Kronasser 1966a:137, 213, HED H:182, HW 2nd ed. Ḫ:337, Ünal 2007a:184).

The adverb ḫarpanalla represents an offshoot of the nom./acc. pl. n. of the adjective ḫarpanalla/i- attested only substantivized as ‘rebel, turncoat’ (implicit CLL:59, modifying DLL:42, Starke 1990a:360 n. 1276, HED H:182).
