Glossed Hittite Texts with German Translation for Machine Learning

This dataset contains 7,099 processed Hittite texts from 143 CTH numbers, sourced with permission from the Hethitologie Portal Mainz (HPM), which is the comprehensive resource of Hittite texts and culture (modern Turkey, c. 1,650 - 1,200 BCE). These texts have been converted from XML format to a tabular structure for computational and linguistic analysis, as well as machine learning applications, while attempting to preserve the full complexity of the source material.

Key Features:

• txtid: Identifier for the specific text (e.g., "IBoT 1.30+"), referencing entries in the HPM Konkordanz (S. Košak, hethiter.net/: hetkonk (2.plus)).
• lnr: Surface, column (if extant), and line number within the text.
• cth_number: Catalogue des textes hittites (CTH) classification, organizing texts by genre and content (S. Košak – G.G.W. Müller – S. Görke – Ch.W. Steitler, hethiter.net/: CTH (2022-10-26)).
• word: Orthographic form of the text as presented in the HPM, not in cuneiform but in a standard Latin script representation.
• translit: Detailed transliteration, preserving all nuances such as diacritics, broken parts, and editorial markings to reflect the original condition on the text.
• gloss: Linguistic glosses, including grammatical, morphological, and semantic information.
• trans_de: German translation of the word or phrase.
