eDiAna: Digital Philological-Etymological Dictionary of the Minor Ancient Anatolian Corpus Languages

The Digital Philological-Etymological Dictionary of the Minor Anatolian Corpus Languages (eDiAna) came into being as a cooperative project sponsored by the Deutsche Forschungsgemeinshaft (HA 3372/7-1 und HA 3372/7-3, MI 1409/3-1 und MI 1409/3-3, RI 1730/7-1 und RI 1730/7-3). Its goal is to provide the first exhaustive lexical assessment of the entire corpus of the lesser attested ancient Anatolian languages, i.e. Luwian (in cuneiform and hieroglyphic transmission), Lycian (A and B), Carian, Lydian, Palaic, Sidetic, and Pisidian. This includes the philological documentation of synchronic word usage as well as the etymological component, linking the lexical stock of the languages mentioned above to that of Hittite and the other Indo-European languages. The Digital Philological-Etymological Dictionary of the Minor Language Corpora of Ancient Anatolia is intended to serve as a fundamental reference tool for Hittitology and for Ancient Anatolian and Ancient Near Eastern Studies as well as for Indo-Europeanists. The complete dictionary is available online and its use is free of charge.
