Özet

Ašmunikal was the wife of Arnuṷanda I, one of the kings of the Middle Hittite period. The name of this queen is found in Hittite and Hurrian texts. The name Ašmunikal is thought to be of Hurrian origin. However, it is not known exactly how it was written using Anatolian hieroglyphs. This study proposes how the name Ašmunikal might be written in Anatolian hieroglyphs based on the signs on two different seal impressions.
