Kizzuwatna and Kummanni: On the Name of the Country and of the City
Shelestin Vladimir Yu.
The paper deals with the problem of alternation between the place names Kizzuwatna and Kummanni, denoting in Hittite texts the land and the city in South-East Anatolia. The analysis of the place names’ distribution in the texts of different chronological periods, as well as of the cases of their mutual oppositions shows that Kizzuwatna and Kummanni were the names of two co-existing cities, whereas the country was named after one of them interchangeably in different periods of its history. Current views on the localization of the capital of KizzuwatnaKummanni allow us to regard the two cities as a pair divided by a river. The new examination of the etymology of these place-names helps to shed light the history of settling the urban centres of Cilician Plain in the Bronze Age.
