Talk:Illuyanka

quotation form
In Greek, the tradition is to quote the nominative of terms in English text; in Sanskrit, the tradition is to quote stems, not nominatives. Hittite philology is younger than either Greek or Sanskrit philology, and both traditions may be observed. It is however more common, and more defensible, to use the stem forms, and we have so far tended to follow this on Wikipedia, see WikiProject_Ancient_Near_East. (illui)-anka to the best of my knowledge i thematic in Hittite, regardless of the stem classes of its cognates, ahi, azi, anguis. dab (&#5839;) 10:36, 24 December 2005 (UTC)

Proto-Indo-European -ll-?
Hardly; PIE is not currently thought to have had long consonants. The Anatolian languages developed long consonants behind stressed short vowels (under circumstances I don't remember). Somebody should look this stuff up. David Marjanović (talk) 14:28, 15 May 2014 (UTC)
