Expressions Definition
Hieroglyphic Hittite Hieroglyphic Hittite was once thought to be a version of the Hittite language, which was ordinarily written in cuneiform script. Upon closer examination, the hieroglyphic texts were found to be a dialect of a different one of the Anatolian languages, Luwian. (references)
Hittite language The Hittite language is the dead language once spoken by the Hittites, a people who once created an empire centered on ancient Hattusa (modern Boğazköy) in north-central Anatolia (modern Turkey). The language was used from approximately 1600 BC (and probably before) to 1100 BC. There is some attestation that Hittite and related languages were still spoken for a few hundred years after that. (references)
Hittite military oath History_of_Hittites_SeriesThe Hittite military oath is a Hittite of two cuneiform tablets. The first tablet is only preserved in fragments (KBo XXI 10, KUB XL 13, and minor fragments), the second tablet survives in three copies, and can be restituted almost completely, the oldest copy (KUB XL 13) is fragmentary, but two younger copies (KUB XL 16, KBo VI 34) are well preserved. The text is in Old Hittite, with some scribal errors of the later copyists, and prescribes the oath to be taken by military commanders. More precisely, it describes a series of symbolic actions intended to represent the afflictions that should befall the oath-takers should they break their word. One one occasion, for example, women's clothing, a spindle and an arrow is brought before those swearing their allegiance. The arrow is broken, and they are told that should they break their oath, their weapons should likewise be broken, and they should be made women and given women's tasks. Then, a blind and deaf woman is brought before them, and they are told that if they break their word, they will be made blind and deaf women like this one. Then, a figurine of a person suffering from ascites, filled with water, is brought before them, and they are told that should they break their word, their bellies should swell with water, and the deities of the oath should eat their offspring (seed) within their bellies. (references)
Uriah the Hittite Uriah the Hittite was the husband of Bathsheba, and a soldier in David's army, whom David ordered killed after his affair with Bathsheba produced a pregnancy. (references)
