1.1.3.1Phonological Interpretation
The phonological interpretation of the word appears clear, since it belongs to the word family around /aba-/ ‘that’, and the rhotacism evident at KARATEPE 1 Ho., §31, attests to the lenis quality of the dental (see Hajnal 1995a:116 n. 125). The corresponding antonym /zadi/ ‘here’ likewise shows rhotacism, see Goedegebuure 2010b:82.
[AH.B.]
1.1.4Meaning
After a brief mention by Neumann 1961a:61 of the word as †abata ‘there’ (followed e.g. by Hawkins 2000a:172, but without comment), its morphology and meaning as a distal deictic adverb were fully elucidated by Goedegebuure 2010b: 80-83, who compared it to /zadi/ ‘here’, the corresponding proximal deictic. KÖRKÜN, § 5 reads: a-wa/i za-na HALPA.PA-wa/i-ni-sá (DEUS)TONITRUS-hu-za á-pa-ti (SOLIUM+MI)i-sà-nu-ha, approx. /a=wa zan Halpawannin Tarhunzan abadi isnuhha/, meaning ‘I set up this (storm-god) Tarhunza of Aleppo over there’ (see Goedegebuure 2010b:81, cf. also Hawkins 2000a:172).
[AH.B.]
1.1.5Stem
The word derives from the distal demonstrative pronoun /aba-/ ‘that; he, she, it’ and represents a lexicalisation of the old abl./instr. form of the pronoun itself (Goedegebuure 2010b:83f.), whose slot has since been taken over by the form /abin/ (for which see Goedegebuure 2007a).

For the strict distinction of apātti “dat. sg.” and apā- ‘that’ and apādi(n) ‘adv.’, see Goedegebuure 2010b:84-88. See also Kloekhorst 2012b:259, who follows Goedegebuure, but sees remnants of the ablative/instrumental function in apāti(n) in certain contexts.

1.2.4Meaning
The word apāti(n) was recognized early as an adverb equivalent to Hitt. apaddan or apeniššan ‘thus’ (Laroche 1959a:29, Melchert in CLL:22f., Goedegebuure 2010b:84-88, Goedegebuure 2010a:305f., Rieken 2017a:23).
