Analysis of the Hittite word šanna reveals insights into language and context, indicating deeper meanings.
Sturtevant's translation of KUB XIII 4 (and duplicates), JAOS 54.363-406, renders ša-an-na-pí (XIII 4 III 48) by ‘ashes’, a translation which (404) is suggested merely by the context. The word is a hapax, but fortunately we have the obviously related word šannapili-, and this is more frequently attested in our materials. A study of the latter word leads to conclusions which are of more than usual interest.
