(I seem to be having trouble posting a second message to this thread; this is the second attempt.)

Since the query draws no replies, let me propose a solution and hope that someone will either shoot it down or confirm it. Dybaty has the meaning 'to walk on stilts, walk clumsily'. The -uva- infix marks the second imperfective aspect, which is frequentative--that it, it denotes repeated action. So I propose here 'stumbling additions,' or less colorfully 'clumsy additions'. Any comments?

About P.T. I cannot usefully even guess. I'm sure there is a dictionary of Russia abbreviations (probably three of them), but I can find no evidence of any dictionary of Ukrainian abbreviations. Any suggestions?
