AŠMUNİKAL ADININ ANADOLU HİYEROGLİFLERİ İLE YAZIMINA BİR ÖNERİ

Abstract

Ašmunikal is the wife of Arnuṷanda I, one of the kings of the Middle Hittite period. The name of this queen is found in Hittite documents as well as in Hurrian texts. The name Ašmunikal is interpreted to be of Hurrian origin. However, it is not known exactly how it was written in Anatolian hieroglyphs. This study proposes how the name Ašmunikal might be written in Anatolian hieroglyphs based on the signs on two different seal impressions.
