Meriggi’s (Meriggi 1957b:64) semantic interpretation of pūwātil(i)- is based on both the derivational relationship with pūwa ‘formerly, in the past’ and the antonymic opposition with pariyanalla/i-, an adjective with temporal semantics (now interpreted as ‘future’). It found general acceptance; cf. DLL:83, HW:425, CLL:182, Kammenhuber 1986a:96, Rieken 1999a:477, HHw:137, Ivanov 2001b:81-83, Hutter 2003a:262, Frotscher 2012a:177, and DCL:s.v.

While the match of the Luwian suffix -til- with Hitt. -z(z)il- and Pal. -ttil- has been common sense for a long time (see Melchert 1994a:119f.), it took longer to figure out that it represents a composite suffix consisting of *-ti- and thematic *-lo- (Rieken 2008a:246-249; for the assignment to the stems without neuter ending -an, see Norbruis 2018a:39). The suffix is attached to the adverbial base pūwa ‘formerly, in the past’.
