Abstract

On the Meaning of Word himtum in the Kültepe Texts In the Old Assyrian texts, there are a few words that are not clarified and mostly doubted. Considering an evaluation in the light of the unpublished texts, the meaning of the word himtum that has been recorded only in a limited number of texts; the use of this word along with the foodstuff measurement unit ṣimdu, and its recording with honey which has frequently been used together with oil, and its presentment with the adjective bīšu having a meaning of “bad quality”, the mentioning of various types of oil with himtum in the text CCT VI, 6d, and comparability of the difference in the writings of words mentioned in the article with himtum-himetum, it can be argued that the affinity between himtum-himētum that has been previously asserted by İ. Albayrak, might be strengthened. In short, it is concluded that the word himtum is the Old Assyrian writing of the word which is recorded as himētum meaning “clarified butter” in the lexical material and should be pronounced as himetum

Kültepe metinlerinde geçen Himtum kelimesinin anlamı üzerine

Abstract

Eski Asur Devri metinlerinde anlamı henüz tespit edilememiş veya şüpheli olan birçok kelime bulunmaktadır. Şimdiye kadar birkaç metinde geçmiş olan himtum kelimesinin anlamı üzerinde yeni belgelerden de elde edilen bilgiler doğrultusunda bir değerlendirme yapıldığında; kelimenin gıdalarla kullanılan ṣimdu hacim ölçüsü ile geçmesi, sıklıkla yağlarla birlikte anılan bal ile birlikte kaydedilmesi, “kötü kaliteli” anlamındaki bīšu sıfatı ile nitelenmesi, CCT VI, 6d numaralı metinde himtum ile birlikte sadece yağ çeşitlerinden bahsedilmesi ve makalede değinilen bazı kelimelerin yazılışları arasındaki farklılıkların himtum-himetum ile kıyaslanabilir olması gibi hususlar tespit edilmekte ve daha önceden İ. Albayrak tarafından belirtilen bu iki kelime arasındaki ilişkisinin doğru olduğu sonucuna ulaşmaktayız. Kısaca, himtum, “saf tereyağı” anlamı verilen ve lügatlerde himētum telâffuzu ile kaydedilen himetum’un Eski Asurcadaki yazılışı olmalıdır
