    Default Hittite spellings of Greek

    Hittite spellings are orally acquired corruptions of the Greek.in other words the Hittites heard the Greeks saying them and wrote down what the thought they heard.

    Hittite : Greek

    Wilusa = Mysia
    Lukka = Lykia
    Milawata = Millito(s)
    Apasa = Epheso(s)
    Ahhiyawa = Ahaiwoi
    Arzawa = Klazom(enae)
    Alasya = Karpasia (in Cyprus)
    Kaska = Thermiskyra
    Tarhuntassa = Telmissus
    Kizzuwadna = Kindos (river)

    Milawanda was Millitus which was a Greek city in Asia-Minor next to Caria in the Greek province of Lycia which is known to the Hittites as Lukka and was said by them to be a land of the Achaeans/Ahhiyawa.

    The Minoan community, in Millitus was the greatest outside Crete.

    Wilusa was Mysia another Independent state. It’s king Alexandros is mentioned in the Hittite texts as Alaksandu. In the "Muwatalli Treaty", Appolon is the God of Wilusa! His name was clumsily rendered by Apaliuna in Hittite.

    Ekwesh was an Egyptians term for Achaeans and the Hittite term was Ahhiyawa which is a crude attempt to write the Homeric name Achaiwoi in Hittite cuneiform. The Hittites recognised the kings of the Achaeans as Great Kings.

    Half of the kings of the Hittite Empire were either Greek, Phrygian or Lydian.

    I don’t know why people confuse Trojans with the Hittites. Troy was NEVER a vassal of the Hittites. It was the Hittites who were vassals of Troy. Why do you think the Greeks never mentioned the Hittites in any of their Historical texts. Its because the Hittites were insignificant vassals of the Greeks. The bible calls the Hittites the Nations. In other words the Hittites were a combination of races.

    Priam was known to the Hittites as Zeus-Priamo(s) or Suppiluliama when he made himself their king in 1203 BC the same year that Paris abducted Helen from Sparta. In 1193 BC the Achaeans invaded Asia-Minor and Priam lost control of the Hittites when he was surrounded in Troy. The Egyptians attacked them and it put an end to the Hittite Empire.

    Suppiluliama II spells Zeus Priam in Linear B !(Sa-A-Si-Pa-Ri/Li-A-Ma-(s))

    The Hittite spelling even shows that it was copied from the Greece since it contains artefacts of the double pronunciation of R as L ie. Ri-Li or Lu-Li.

    Suppiluliama is the closest that non-Indo-European Akkadian cuneiform can get to spelling the Greek/Indo-European Zeus-Priamo(s) which in Linear B is Sa-A-Si-Pa-Ri/Li-A-Ma-(s). In Iliad Zeus was supposed to be on the side of the Trojans because Homer interchanged Priam with Zeus since Zeus was his epithet. Hittite records say that Priam reigned for 20 years.

    Nearly 50 years before Priam, Deukalion the son of Minos made himself king of the Hittites under the name of Tudhaliya IV/Dionysus from 1252 to 1236 BC. Minos had several son who had made themselves kings of cities in Asia-Minor at this time who were killed by Herakles on his 9th labour, Eurymedon, Chryses, Nephalion, and Philolaus.
