1.1.3Meaning ‘to tie feet, fetter’
There is a general agreement regarding the meaning since Kühne 1972a:249 (see also Oettinger 1976b:7, 26, 111; CHD P:238; Reichardt 1998a:61; HEG L-S:536, Tischler 2008a:142, Tischler 2016a:269; García Trabazo 2002a:527; Collins 2003c:165; Haas 2003a:549, Haas 2006a:231; Hoffner 2003b:85*; Melchert 2005a:449; Ünal 2007a:533, Ünal 2016a:409; EDHIL:658; Christiansen 2009b:38,Christiansen 2012b:355; similarly HED Pa:200 (‘strap with leggings, tether by foot’)), due to its unambiguous context and derivation (cf. also under Origin).

1.1.4Origin
Melchert 2005a:449 suggests a Luwian origin (but not included in the list of Luwianisms of van den Hout 2007a), unlike other scholars, who assume a Hittite origin (Oettinger 1992a:224; HEG L-S:536; EDHIL:130, 568; HED Pa:200). This word is a derivative of patalla- ‘fetter, foot bracelet’ (see s.v.), which is either a Luwian loanword or not (see the discussion s.v.). Accordingly and since the denominative -iya- verbal suffix was very widespread in New Hittite, it is equally possible that patalliya- is a Hittite creation and not a Luwian loanword.
