The fragmentary context does not permit any semantic analysis. Melchert (DCL:138) opts for ‘regretful’, based on the likely derivational relationship with lumpašt(i)-, which he translates as ‘regret’. Building on the translation of lumpašt(i)-, considered most plausible in this dictionary, i.e. ‘reason for annoyance, chagrin’, an interpretation ‘displeased(?), annoyed(?), offended(?) (vel sim.)’ is favored here.

[E.R.]

According to DCL:138, the suffix -wal(i)- derives the abstract noun lumpašt(i)-. The same sequence is found in šarkiwal(i)- ‘vengeful (?)’ from the same semantic sphere. While it is not clear whether -wal(i)- represents synchronically a unified suffix, its origin in the combination of -wa/i- and -āl(i)- seems reasonable (see Rieken & Sasseville 2014a:307).

[E.R.]

The Luwian provenance of the lexeme is ascertained by the gloss wedge marks and the suffix combination -wal(i)-; cf. DCL:138.
