†lapantati

Only one attestation of the alleged abl./instr. †la-pa-an-ta-ti is known, found in a song incipit from the Ištanuwa festival, i.e. KUB 35.139 iv 10 (CTH 773, MS). DLL:63 reads la-pa-an-ta-ti at KUB 35.139 iv 10, followed by Starke 1985b:338, CLL:125, HHw:92, DCL:s.v. However, the collation of the photograph (checked against the photographs in the Mainzer Fotoarchiv) clearly shows that the preceding sign is not an -aš, but a sign ending in a Winkelhaken, a vertical, and a horizontal, much like -wa. Moreover, there is no space between -wa- and -la-, but space for a single sign before -wa-, probably ending in a vertical (see under ḫ/kuwalapant(i)-).
