The present inscriptional forms appear to be formed from the adjectival bases *mutu* / *mūtu* with the addition of the adjectival suffix *-ā*. See also **23.1**, **65.1** & **66.1** for the occurrence of *-ā* as a genitive suffix. These two suffixes are not attested in LT. The corresponding LT forms are *mutiya*/*mūtta* respectively. (See **66.1** for discussion; see also section 7.27.4).
