Chicago Hittite Dictionary
The Chicago Hittite Dictionary (CHD) is a project at the Oriental Institute of the University of Chicago with the aim of compiling a dictionary of the Hittite language . It is based on the Chicago Assyrian Dictionary and is primarily intended to replace the outdated glossaries of Hittite by Edgar Sturtevant (1936) and Johannes Friedrich (1952). The project was started by Harry Angier Hoffner, Jr. and Hans Gustav Güterbock in 1975 and has been continued since 2000 by Theo Van Den Hout and Petra Goedegebuure . The project funded by the National Endowment for the Humanities has not yet been completed. Several volumes have been published in the lemma areas LN, P and S.
