The aim of the present paper is to analyze a selection of Hittite outcomes of Indo-European roots that are semantically connected with the idea of ‘weaving’ and to compare them with other words drawn from other ancient Indo-European languages.

Abstract
The aim of the present paper is to analyze a selection of Hittite outcomes of Indo-European roots that are semantically connected with the idea of ‘weaving’ and to compare them with other words drawn from other ancient Indo-European languages. These roots form several archaic derivatives in the Indo-European daughter dialects, and they also help us deepen our knowledge of the material culture of the Proto-Indo-Europeans. It is worthwhile, therefore, to study this small group of Hittite words, from both structural and semantic perspectives, and to provide an overview of the main etymological interpretations presented in the past by authoritative scholarsI documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
