The Hittite word, watar appears in a sentence that was the first clue that it was IE:
nu ninda en e-iz-za-te-ni
wa-a-tar-ma e-ku-ut-te-ni Czech linguist Bedrich Hrozny translated this in early 1900 s as: now you will eat bread and drink water. After this breakthrough he was able to mostly decipher it. https://www.sjsu.edu/faculty/watkins/hittite.htm |
