[E.R.]

The term denotes a landmark that is suitable to describe the border (between Tarḫuntašša and the Ḫulaya River land), but there is no clue that would permit to narrow down the meaning; cf. DLL:38, HW:330, Otten 1988a:34, CLL:43, van den Hout 1995a:26f., HHw:35, HW 2nd ed. Ḫ:19, Ünal 2007a:146, DCL:47.

[E.R.]

On account of its grammatical agreement with the neuter participle āššan, neuter gender can also be for the form ḫallapuwanza, which leaves neuter stems in -wa- and -wan- as possible alternatives; cf. CLL:43, DCL:47Different, with incorrect analyses, DLL:38, Starke apud Otten 1988a:34 with n. 19, van den Hout 2006a:240, HHw:35, Ünal 2007a:146. The base must be *ḫallap- or *ḫallapa-, which probably also underlies the verbal form ḫallapanda (cf. already DLL:38).

[E.R.]

The gloss wedge marking and the form with secondary ending clearly point to a Luwian origin of the term; cf. DLL:38, CLL:43, Otten 1988a:34, van den Hout 1995a:26f., HW 2nd ed. Ḫ:19, DCL:47, Melchert 2005a:450, and van den Hout 2006a:240.

Without a semantic interpretation, any reconstruction remains impossible.
