Encyclopaedia Iranica, online edition, 31 May 2013. Summarises the Kassite lexical remains (about 60 common nouns, about 200 further elements from names), rejects Ancillotti's Indo-Aryan and Eilers's Elamite affiliations, and concludes that no genetic relationship is demonstrable. Used for the Kassite assessment.
