Talk:Mursili I

Name standardization
The possible spellings of Hittite names are too numerous to list all of them. The most popular methodology today is to use 's' for 'sh', and 'h' for the laryngeal. (In the past, these have been normalized as 'sh' and 'kh', but this has fallen by the wayside over time.) A third approach, but more difficult to achieve, is to use 'š' or even 'ş', and a character that isn't available in Wikipedia for the laryngeal (an 'h' with a cupped diacritical under it). It is also standard to show the root stem without the nominative 's' ending. This corresponds with how the Hittites themselves wrote names when they were not attempting to indicate case. Thus 'Mursili'. Variants such as 'Mursilis', 'Murshilish', 'Murshili', etc. are easily recognized as the same name. 208.97.196.5 (talk) 16:50, 27 March 2008 (UTC)
 * I agree. "Mursili" or arguably "Muršili" should be the preferred spelling. Details of the transcription of Hittite names should be discussed at the Hittite cuneiform article. dab (𒁳) 06:37, 7 May 2008 (UTC)
