Language:
Hittite
Meaning:
woman
Cognate Set:
*gʷen- [Proto-Indo-European]
Romanised orthography:
*kuu̯an-
Native script:
MUNUS-an-za
Notes: Reconstructed stem is not actually attested. The form underlying the Sumerogram MUNUS-an-za, MUNUS-na-aš, etc. is an n-stem and quite likely to be reconstructed as *kuu̯an- (Kloekhorst 2008:501-505) based on the inflection and the attestation of CLuw. u̯āna- 'woman', Lyd. kãna- 'wife'.
