Note three important sentences, the third one in particular.

Sentence 15 has Dihi-Aeli speaking, and the subsequent ones describe his actions.

Literally word-by-word:

Na	ina	qinnuva	xxarinu	t’ayla	bukkana	kunu	bur	.
I	you	good &	happy	directly	to.let.go	said	am
‘I will nicely and happily let you go directly.’

Sentence 16:

Miccha	Dihil-Aeli	muhlat	baqqa	ivssa	ivnu	xxulinmay	qin-qinssa	aziqru	hwadur	buvnu	bur
thence	Dihil-Aeli	hesitation	not.done	reach	reached	to.the.way	very.good	food	preparing	doing	was
‘Then Dihil-Äli did not hesitate and – reaching and having reached [on] the way he prepared very good food.’

Note:

The subject Dihil-Aeli is mentioned only twice, and not repeated in the two participial clauses (marked as “IP-PPL”).

Sentence 17 (most important)

Cchat	bivsshunu	chulu	cchannu	sharxhun	baqquqru	aerayn-havkkurttu	buvnu	bur	.
bread	baken	dry	leg	boiled	halwas	milk-breads	made	was
‘He baked bread, boil [the meat of] dry legs (= ham) and made halwa (and) milk bread.’

The subject Dihil-Aeli is NOT mentioned at all overtly. It is implied from the previous sentence!
