About 15 tablets and fragments from Hattusa in which a Hattic recitation is followed by a Hittite translation, among about 359 Hattic fragments in all. The best preserved are the building ritual KBo 37.1 and the myth of the Moon that fell from the sky, KUB 28.3 to 5. They are the only key to the Hattic language.
