Abstract
The aim of the present paper is to analyze a selection of Hittite outcomes of Indo-European roots that are semantically connected with the idea of "weaving" and to compare them with other words drawn from other ancient Indo-European languages. These roots form several archaic derivatives in the Indo-European daughter dialects, and they also help us deepen our knowledge of the material culture of the Proto-Indo-Europeans. It is worthwhile, therefore, to study this small group of Hittite words, from both structural and semantic perspectives, and to provide an overview of the main etymological interpretations presented in the past by authoritative scholars.
