  • Binding and Smiting

    H Craig Melchert, Ilya YakubovichARTICLEJournal of the American Oriental…2022

    The purpose of this paper is to offer evidence for a set of related formulaic expres- sions meaning 'bond and blow', 'of binding and smiting', and 'the substitute for binding and smiting' in Luvian cuneiform texts of the second millennium bCe. The passages where the relevant formulae are attested have resisted a coherent interpretation thus far. Our argumentation is three-pronged. First, we resort to the combinatorial method to show that these fo…

  • Internal or external evil

    Open AccessAlice Mouton, Ilya YakubovichARTICLEBulletin of the School of…2019References: 16

    The paper addresses the frequent collocation /ir(hu)waliyan parittarwaliyan/, which occurs in Luwian incantations embedded in Hittite cuneiform ritual texts. Despite the relatively clear context, the meanings of this and similar collocations have remained obscure. Using combinatory and etymological methods, we intend to demonstrate that it hides the merism "internal (or) external", which modifies various sorts of supernatural negative phenomena. …

  • Palaic Words for Domestic Animals and their Enclosures

    David Sasseville, Ilya YakubovichARTICLEHistorical Linguistics2018

    Palaic passage featuring the mention of sacrificial animals and the spaces where they are kept is identified with its Hittite parallel. The simultaneous application of combinatory and etymological methods is conducive to the identification of a number of Palaic lexemes occurring in this passage, which were previously regarded as obscure. Among them are the Palaic words for ‘dog’, ‘cow’, and either ‘sheep’ or ‘lamb’

  • The development of Anatolian hieroglyphs in the context of Hittite-Luwian bilingualism

    Ilya YakubovichARTICLEVostok Afro-Aziatskie obshchestva…2018

    The Empire of Hattusa (frequently referred to as the Hittite Empire in earlier literature) was situated on the territory of present-day Turkey and northern Syria and saw its heyday in the fourteenth and thirteenth centuries BCE. A peculiarity of the sociolinguistic situation in the Empire of Hattusa was the simultaneous use of two writing systems: the cuneiform and the Anatolian hieroglyphs (also called Hittite or Luwian hieroglyphs in earlier pu…

  • Lukka

    Open AccessIlya YakubovichCHAPTERThe Encyclopedia of Ancient History2016

    Lukka was a coastal region in Bronze Age Anatolia, probably to be identified with Classical Lycia. It is mentioned in Hittite, Luwian, Akkadian, and Egyptian texts. The cumulative analysis of the sources leaves the impression that the Lukka lands remained politically decentralized and were never fully integrated into the empire of Hattusa.

  • Phoenician and Luwian in Early Iron Age Cilicia

    Open AccessIlya YakubovichARTICLEAnatolian Studies2015Cited by: 2

    The relationship between the Luwian and Phoenician versions of the bilingual texts emanating from Cilicia has never been systematically studied from the philological viewpoint. In this paper I endeavour to demonstrate that a converging set of formal arguments supports the primary character of the Phoenician versions of the ÇINEKÖY and KARATEPE 1 bilinguals and the secondary character of their Luwian versions. I interpret this as a metaphor for th…

  • Luwian language

    Open AccessIlya YakubovichCHAPTERThe Encyclopedia of Ancient History2012

    Luwian belongs to the Anatolian group of the Indo‐European language family. It is the main language of the Anatolian hieroglyphic inscriptions, and it is also attested in the cuneiform archives of Hattuša, usually through passages or isolated words embedded in Hittite texts.

  • Hieroglyphs, Anatolian

    Open AccessIlya YakubovichCHAPTERThe Encyclopedia of Ancient History2012

    Anatolian hieroglyphic writing gradually arose out of an indigenous set of commonly used symbols and pictograms during the second millennium BCE . It is first attested in a fully developed form on Late Bronze Age seals and stone inscriptions of Hittite kings and high officials (ca. 1350–1200 BCE ).

    Kingdom of Urartu, also known as Kingdom of Van, throve in 9th through 7th cent. in the area corresponding to the present-day eastern Turkey, southern Armenia, and northwestern Iran. Although the first written documents emanating from this kingdom are in Akkadian, after a few decades the local kings began to commission cuneiform inscriptions in their native Urartian language, a close relative of Hurrian. In a sharp contrast to the deployment of A…

  • Were Hittite Kings Divinely Anointed? A Palaic Invocation to the Sun-God and Its Significance for Hittite Religion

    Ilya YakubovichARTICLEJournal of Ancient Near Eastern…2005

    The aim of this paper is to improve our understanding of a difficult Palaic invocation to the Sun-god, and to elucidate its implications for the study of Hittite religion. The first part of my account contains linguistic and philological discussion that concludes with a new translation of the scrutinized fragment. According to my interpretation, the Sun-god is requested to anoint the Hittite king and to exalt him. This is the only clear evidence …
