We know about eighty words for body parts in the Hittite language. They are attested in different types of texts, especially in conjurations and purification rituals, which often contain lists of body parts. The identification of the various body parts is often difficult, due to the vagueness of contexts. This vocabulary also raises some particular problems both in Hittite and in the other Indo-European languages, such as the mixture of technical and popular terms, semantic and morphological changes, taboo replacements, and shifts from one body part to another.
_ This presentation constitutes the fourth monthly session of the interdisciplinary seminar “The Individual and his Body in the Ancient Mediterranean Basin” organized by Alice Mouton.
