  • The Indo-Hittite Hypothesis

    E H SturtevantARTICLELanguage1962Citada por: 1

    In the summer of 1938, at the Linguistic Institute in Ann Arbor, Sturtevant gave a public lecture on his Indo-Hittite hypothesis, which was then very much in the foreground of discussion. The next year, C. C. Fries, as Director of the Institute, persuaded Sturtevant to allow the lecture to be printed in the announcement and course program for the Institute of 1939, as the first (and, as it turned out, the last) of what Fries hoped might be a regu…

  • Hittite i before Vowels

    E H Sturtevant, George L TragerARTICLELanguage1943

    In Language 18.259–70 (1942) we began a discussion of the question whether Hittite of the time when our texts were written distinguished phonemically between syllabic and consonantal u and i. On account of lack of direct evidence concerning these sounds in anteconsonantal and final position we confined our attention to the antevocalic position, and considerations of space compelled us to postpone the presentation of evidence concerning Our presen…

  • Varro, on the Latin Language

    E H Sturtevant, Roland G KentARTICLEThe American Journal of Philology1942

    Varro (M. Terentius), 116?27 BCE, of Reate, renowned for his vast learning, was an antiquarian, historian, philologist, student of science, agriculturist, and poet. He was a republican who was reconciled to Julius Caesar and was marked out by him to supervise an intended national library. Of Varro's more than seventy works involving hundreds of volumes we have only his treatise On Agriculture (in Loeb number 283) and part of his monumental achiev…

  • Hittite u before Vowels

    E H Sturtevant, George L TragerARTICLELanguage1942

    Nearly all scholars who have worked with the cuneiform Hittite texts have assumed that the language has consonantal u (transcribed w or ṷ ) as well as syllabic u , and consonantal i (transcribed y, j , or ḽ) as well as syllabic i. Although there have been few explicit statements to that effect, it appears that the difference between w and u and between y and i has usually been considered phonemic. At any rate that is the opinion underlying Sturte…

  • The Indo-Hittite and Hittite Correspondences of Indo-European ǝ

    E H SturtevantARTICLELanguage1941

    [IH ъA became IE ə . IH ъ ? became Hitt. a ; IH ъx became Hitt. aḫ ( ḫ ); IH ъγ became Hitt. aḫ before a vowel, a before s .]

  • The Greek Aspirated Perfect

    E H SturtevantARTICLELanguage1940

    [Greek perfects in - φα or -χα from verb-stems ending in π, κ, or γ owe the aspiration to Indo-Hittite perfect endings beginning with a voiceless laryngeal: 1st sg. - xa and 3d pl. .]

  • Evidence for Voicing in Indo-Hittite γ

    E H SturtevantARTICLELanguage1940

    [Of the four laryngeals assumed by the author for Indo-Hittite, three (two glottal stops and x ) were clearly voiceless. This paper assembles the evidence that the fourth laryngeal (γ) was voiced.]

  • The Pronunciation of Latin qu and gu

    E H SturtevantARTICLELanguage1939

    When the Greeks borrowed the alphabet they took over the Semitic qoph as well as kaph , and they employed the former before back vowels (e.g. Corinthian hí oμ∈s, κα óν) , but in the course of time was crowded out by κ. Scholars have inferred that the extra letter served no useful purpose, because there was no phonemic difference between κ before back vowels and in other positions. Similarly the Etruscans borrowed both and κ from the Greeks, and o…

  • Sanskrit ā 'near' is Cognate with Latin ā 'from

    E H SturtevantARTICLELanguage1939

    There is nothing novel in equating Skt. ā and Lat. ā; the suggestion was made in 1883 independently by Froehde and Johannes Schmidt. Nine years later Von Planta noted that Oscan ā- in aamanaffed ‘mandavit’ strongly supports this view; for, while Lat. ā might result from abs before a voiced consonant and Umbrian aha-, ā - might come from ap - before t-, Oscan s remains before voiced consonants (fíísnu, posmom ) and in Oscan inherited p before t ap…

  • The Pronoun *so, *sā, *tod and the Indo-Hittite Hypothesis

    E H SturtevantARTICLELanguage1939Citada por: 1

    As early as 1921 Emil Forrer advanced the hypothesis that Hittite separated from the Pre-Indo-European parent stock before the time of the Primitive Indo-European language that has been partially reconstructed by the comparative method. Forrer did not undertake to prove his point, but I have tried to do so in a series of articles

  • The Prehistory of Indo-European ā-Stems

    E H SturtevantARTICLELanguage1938

    The ‘laryngeal’ hypothesis poses a problem concerning the Indo-European ā -stem nouns and verbs, for IE ā may result from the loss either of a following x or of a following;. In the present state of our knowledge a decision between the two possibilities can be reached only on the basis of Hittite evidence; IH x appears in Hittite as ḫ , usually written double between vowels, while IH; is lost, or at least not written in Hittite. In the case befor…

  • Hittite Evidence against Full-Grade o

    E H SturtevantARTICLELanguage1938

    The familiar doctrine that Primitive Indo-European possessed a full-grade (accented) vowel o derives from Ferdinand de Saussure. His thesis was that in addition to in ablaut relation to e there was another vowel which appeared in Greek and Italic as o and which was due to the influence of a certain lost consonant of undefined character. He had three reasons for this assumption: (1) Greek and Italic present in certain words an that is not observed…

  • The Source of the Hittite hi-Conjugation

    E H Sturtevant, George BechtelARTICLELanguage1938Citada por: 1

    Hittite verbs fall into two conjugations, one of which shows in the first person singular active an ending -mi and the other an ending -ḫi ; it is customary to speak of the mi -conjugation and the ḫi -conjugation. Now Greek verbs are commonly classified as μι-verbs and ω-verbs. Consequently it naturally occurred to Hrozný, Sprache der Hethiter 101, that, as the Hittite ending -mi is identical with Gk. -μι, so Hitt. -ḫi ought to be identical with …

  • The Values of the be-Sign in Hittite

    E H SturtevantARTICLELanguage1937

    The phonetic interpretation of the cuneiform sign in Hittite texts is a matter about which scholars have not yet reached an agreement. The Akkadian values that have been assumed at one time or another for Hittite words are be, pè, bat, pát, pít, and mit. The distinction between be and pè and between bat and pát is without meaning for Hittite orthography, since the b and p signs are in general employed indiscriminately, and it is now agreed that t…

  • Relatives in Indo-European and Hittite

    E H Sturtevant

    [The Hittite relative kuiš is like the early Italic relative in that (1) the relative clause tends to stand before the main clause, (2) the relative itself is usually postpositive, (3) a demonstrative frequently stands within the relative clause, and (4) the relative is often doubled (kuiš kuiš, quis quis), This detailed correspondence proves that the relative (i.e. connective) value of the stem was Indo-European and also Indo-Hittite.
