Just a brief note. In the MCV's text on pre-Indo-European there is a claim
that Hittite ablative -az comes from PIE *-od-s. Considering the Luwian form
of ablative -ati it can safely be assumed that the protoform of these two is
*-oti.

*o > a in both lgs, *t is palatalized to z in Hittite in front of *-i which
is later omitted. So the *-ods > -az etymology is not correct.
