In line with the communication of P. Goedegebuure in Warsow (2011), this contribution focuses on several toponyms in the Hieroglyphic Luwian Südburg inscription, especially “TONITRUS^URBS”. This toponym, generally identified with Tarḫuntassa, is more likely to be identified with Nerik (Hawkins), another major sanctuary of the Hittite Storm-God. We suggest another interpretation for the toponym ta-NEG^URBS, and a hypothetical good candidate for the designation of Tarhuntassa in Hieroglyphic Luwian. Furthermore, the historical and geographical consequences of this new identification are being discussed.
