1.1.4Meaning
The noun is not translated in DLL:63 and HHw:92. However, being mentioned together with ‘woe’, ‘blood’, and ‘curse’, lappiya- can very likely be equated with Hitt. lappiya- ‘glow’, which denotes more concretely also ‘fever’ and ‘embers’ (CHD L-N:44f. and Soysal 2017a:82; for CLuw. lappiya-, see, more or less tentatively, Meriggi 1957b:58, Starke 1990a:63, CLL:126, EDHIL:519f., Sasseville 2020c:279, DCL:s.v.; undecided HEG L-N:32 and HED L:60).

1.1.5Stem
The acc. sg. in -iyan belongs to a common gender non-mutating a-stem, as recognized already by Starke 1990a:63, 332 n. 1177 and repeated in Sasseville 2020c:279 and DCL:s.v. Additionally, Sasseville 2020c:279 points out that lappiya- is the member of a large group of abstract nouns in -iya- c. that derive from verbs in -i-(ti) and -iya-(i), in this case lappi-(ti).
