Ša/ekri - „tausend“ in den hethitischen Texten
The determination of the phonetic equivalents of numbers in the Hittite texts is one of the cases in which Hittite research proceeds slowly and laboriously. The word „thousand“ to be discussed in this study regarding its phonetic equivalent in Hittite is also a number of high sacred significance, which as a concept possibly goes back to the pre-Hittite times of ancient Anatolia, since this number often appears in the cult term „a thousand gods.“ …
Ein religiöses Konzept und seine Übermittlung zwischen zwei Sprachen Altanatoliens
The mythological story between § 2 and § 9 of KBo 37.1 “Bilingual Ritual of the Foundation of a Temple or Palace” (CTH 726) deals with the building activities of the Sun-god for his temple in Liḫzina, however, the main theme of the overall composition is the temple of the Sun-god in Ḫattuša, as stated in § 10. Two Hattian passages are intended to provide the key to understanding the main idea of this composition. In § 4 and § 8, perhaps in connec…

Remarks on the reading and interpretation of recently published cuneiform frag- ments from the Hittite capital Boğazköy/Ḫattuša
Zur Chronologie der Götterkreise von Šamuḫa und die „alte Göttin“ in Kayalıpınar
The local pantheon of Šamuḫa includes primarily female deities, among whom the most important is Šawuška. Before the “Goddess of the Night” from Kizzuwatna and later the “Šawuška of the Field” joined the local deities, the native goddess Apara of Šamuḫa probably held the position of the prime goddess of this city. A relief block in Kayalıpınar shows a sitting goddess. The aged-woman shape bears no stylistic similarity to any kind of Šawuška, so t…
Philological Contributions to Hattian-Hittite Religion (I)
In the first part of the present study the frequent Hittite cult phrase d(GN) aku- / eku- "to drink a deity" is discussed as to whether it should be understood in the accusative or dative sense. The drinking act devoted to divine honor is accompanied chiefly by the accusative case of the deity name. There are also some exceptional cases in which the divine proper name is used in the dative case. In the light of a list of Hattian deities in KBo 21…
The Hattian-Hittite Foundation Rituals from Ortaköy (I)
Beiträge zur althethischen Geschichte (III). Kleine Fragmente historischen Inhalts
Die wichtigsten Dokumente zur althethitischen Geschichte wurden vor ungefähr 80 Jahren, also in den frühen Jahren der modernen Hethitologie, von E. Forrer im Rahmen einer auch heute immer noch als Standardwerk geltenden Arbeit zusammen mit ihren Textumschriften zusammengestellt. Kumulativ, aber gleichwohl sehr sparsam, kamen später weitere schriftliche Zeugnisse des althethitischen Textensembles historischen Inhalts hinzu. Unter diesen gelten nat…

On Hittite (LÚ) Ānt - "(the) Equal (one) > Rival" Again
This article brings further textual material for the Hittite lemma (LÚ) ānt - "(the) equal (one)" which has recently been clarified and established by P. M. Goedegebuure. This meaning may be semantically shifted also to "rival". The additional occurrences for (LÚ) ānt - are obtained by an alternative analysis of the ghost word ānzassi - "a kind of animal
The Angry Priests in a Hattian-Hittite Narrative
The Hattian-Hittite interlinear bilingual fragment KUB 28.1 and its newly joined duplicate KBo 37.9 (+) KBo 37.74 are treated here. The text edition and interpretation are based on a combination of the Hattian and Hittite versions. The narrative contains scenes of some odd behaviors of priests which are an interesting addition to what we know about the administrative and daily life of priests in Hittite Anatolia

Analysis of a Hittite Oracular Document
KBo. 18,151, a small tablet with an oracular report, is discussed here. It refers primarily to the fate and military fortune of a Hittite king, and contains names of the enemies of the Hittites on the South-eastern front. One of them, m Zikiltu, can be linked to Alalah (level VII or IV). Historical and cultural characteristics of the content strongly plead for an Old Hittite time for the dating of the text. The female practitioner of the KIN-orac…
