I thought you were assocating /upiku/ with a verb "to give". You
mean an _adverb_? This isn't making sense. What's your suggested
translation of this phrase then?

(a)paniun(a): "votive" (adjective)
laSanuale: "to Lashanua" (theonym, dative)
upiku: "offering" (noun, of verbal origin)
perunies: "from/by Perunia" (anthroponym, agentive)
sxaispala: "Scespalis" (toponym etc., ablative)

And /e-/ too? As in what terms? In Etruscan?

I was thinking particularly of zal/esl, but also Tuscan/Etruscan.
