Document Details : Title: 'Soul' and 'Stele' in Hittite and Luwian Author(s): GIUSFREDI, Federico Journal: Bibliotheca Orientalis Volume: 73 Issue: 3-4 Date: 2016 Pages: 297-309 DOI: 10.2143/BIOR.73.3.3191745 Abstract : In this paper, I will examine a group of words connected to the semantic areas of 'stele' (or 'altar') and 'soul' in Luwian and Hittite, and investigate the possible etymological connections. It will be argued that they go back to the Indo-European root, *steh2-, 'to stand/make stand', while for others a different root (*dheh1-, 'to put, place') needs to be assumed. |
