1.1.3Graphic Features
Checked against the photograph in the Konkordanz. The reading of the sign TA is uncertain, since ŠA could be read instead. The restoration of the sign TA at the end of the line is prompted by the context, in which the other verbal forms are in the preterite tense.

1.1.4Meaning
The strophe in which the lexeme occurs is made of two sentences. The first one is ˹a-tar ḫu-wa-ar-ta?-li-en˺-[ta?]. The second one begins with the sequence pa=ti-i=a-aš..., which calls for the restauration of a verbal form at the end of the preceding line. If the sign TA is correct, a connection with the Luwian root ḫuwart- as in ḫu(wa)rt(i)- would lend itself. Otherwise, if the reading is ŠA, a connection with the root of ḫuršalamma/i- would be preferable. Pending further confirmation, nothing else can be said about this attested verbal form.
