Description
Summary:The article explores all Hittite non-proper nouns considered to be nominal compounds. Based on a new account on the types of Indo-European word formation with a clearer distinction of real compounds and so called compounding derivations, 131 words are discussed with regard to their word formation under synchronic and diachronic aspects. As a result, some 60 lexemes in Hittite can be considered probable or possible compounds or compounding derivations, mostly made up from inherited material. This challenges the popular view that Hittite had entirely lost these kinds of word formation.
