This is supposedly a Hayasan word, but is defined using an English template. I don't know the code for Hayasan. I don't know if the little squiggle on the final letter is correct. SemperBlotto (talk) 15:31, 8 May 2017 (UTC)Reply

@SemperBlotto: Searching the language data modules for Hayasan yields no results. — Eru·tuon 15:40, 8 May 2017 (UTC)Reply

Any takers? (not sure what the language is) SemperBlotto (talk) 15:45, 8 May 2017 (UTC)Reply

Yeeeeeeeah, I'm less and less excited about this user's contributions. —JohnC5 15:59, 8 May 2017 (UTC)Reply
Also, the majority of the content is non-dictionary material. —JohnC5 16:50, 8 May 2017 (UTC)Reply
This is the Hayasan theonym attested in Hittite. See տուտն (tutn). Unless someone can move this to a Hittite entry in the native script, it should be deleted. @Arban Blandi: cleaning after you is annoying. --Vahag (talk) 17:50, 8 May 2017 (UTC)Reply
Das Reich Urartu (Volkert Haas), page 24, gives the transcription Dte-ri-it-ti-tu-u-ni-a[š]?, while a 1937 article in Indogermanische Forschungen and this paper by A Petrosyan prefer Dte-ri-it-ti-tu-u-ni-i[š]. That is 𒀭 (D, deity classifier) 𒋼𒊑𒀉𒋾𒌅𒌋𒉌𒅖 (te-ri-it-ti-tu-u-ni-iš) or 𒀸 (-aš) respectively. If no-one has a reason to prefer -aš, I would go with -iš since I find various other works rendering the final vowel as i. The first part is usually analysed as 𒋼𒊑 (te-ri, tri, three). The second part is sometimes connected to the word for "tail" mentioned above, or Τρῑ́των (Trī́tōn). - -sche (discuss) 19:16, 8 May 2017 (UTC)Reply
@-sche: Thanks for your research. Could you either move or remove the entry? —JohnC5 19:20, 8 May 2017 (UTC)Reply
Done Done. - -sche (discuss) 20:13, 8 May 2017 (UTC)Reply
Finally, the user gave us something we can actually use. Kinda, sorta. —CodeCat 20:41, 8 May 2017 (UTC)Reply
