1.1.4Meaning
Following Starke 1990a:232, the context of ḫarpanuanda clearly points to a negative connotation: Dutu-ši-ma en-ia ... pab-ḫa-ḫa-at ḫar-pa-nu-an-da-ši ul ku-e-da-ni-ik-ki pé-di ú-e-ri-aḫ-ḫa-at “I protected ... the majesty, my lord. Nowhere did I engage in a ḫarpanuanda manner (against) him (scil. my majesty)” (for middle anda weriye/a- ‘sich mit jemandem einlassen’, cf. Neu 1968a:200). While Starke (followed in CLL:60, HHw:43) thinks of ‘in a rebellious manner’, a more general translation ‘disloyally’ would suit better the context and the basic meaning of the underlying verb ḫarp- ‘to separate oneself and (re)associate oneself elsewhere’ (as attested in Hittite).Implausible interpretations in HW 2nd ed. Ḫ:339 and HED K:327f. ignoring the neutral meaning of the predicate anda weriye/a-, which demands a negative meaning for ḫarpanuanda; no translation in DLL:42, HW:330.

1.1.5Stem
The neuter nom./acc. pl. -a functions as an adverb. Already Starke 1990a:62, 232 analyzed ḫarpanuanda as a form of the possessive -want(i)- derivative of a reconstructed n-stem *ḫarpan- (see also ḫarpanalla/i- ‘rebel, turncoat’). This is accepted in CLL:60 (implicit also HHw:63) as well as here.
