Fascinating. I speak a language from the area that still uses some Hurrian vocabulary, I always imagined these guys are my distant ancestors. Would be cool to actually hear the songs...

There's a link on the bottom of the Wikipedia article - A Hurrian Cult Song from Ancient Ugarit: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7ZatnTPhYWc
That is beyond cool :) Thanks
Turkish I suppose? What are some surviving Hurrian words?
Armenian. Mostly agricultural terms AFAIK. The word for apple (xnzor) is one that I remember.
