You start with preceding::table-wrapper[ends-with(@km,'Ta.A')] and you want the element name to be variable. So you replace table-wrapper with *[name()=$x]. That gives you preceding::*[name()=$x][ends-with(@km,'Ta.A')] not preceding::*[name()=$x[ends-with(@km,'Ta.A')]] because the ends-with predicate qualifies the element *, not the variable $x.
