The name of the ‘pig’ in Hittite texts. Onomatopoeic ‘games’ in the Hittite language

= Paper =
 
by Rita FRANCIA, Marianna POZZA, in Res Antiquae 21, 2024.

This contribution will analyse the Hittite word ḫuntara-, both from the point of view of textual occurrence contexts and from an etymological one, to propose its connection with the Sumerogram Å AḪ ‘pig’, whose Hittite counterpart has not yet been identified.


Keywords: Hittite, Etymology, Sound-Symbolism, Onomatopoeia, Sumerograms, Semantics, Hitt. ḫuntara-, Sum. Å AḪ
