Formally, a denominative verb in -a-(d) would be possible, although the following verb inṭ ‘he does/makes’, speaks a priori for laduwad as a direct object.
[D.S.]
1.1.3Graphic Features
Buckler 1924a:65 points out that the readings of the damaged signs are very uncertain (thus also Gusmani 1964a:266), and that a new collation of the inscription is necessary.

1.1.4Meaning
No meaning has been assigned to Lyd. laduwa- (Gusmani 1964a:157). The sentence prafraν ḷạḍụẉad inṭ ‘he does laduwad to the prafra-people’ allows us to conclude that laduwad is something that can be done to certain people; cf. citalad fadint (LW 5.4-5).
