echd Basic System Requirements website: http://ochre.lib.uchicago.edu/echd/ for the OCHRE database in general see http://ochre.lib.uchicago.edu Technical requirements for running the echd: - Java Runtime Environment (version 6 or later; typically preinstalled. To check the version of java on your machine, go to http://java.com) - Apple Macintosh users: OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard or higher - high-speed internet connection of at least 512 MB of main memory - screen resolution of at least 1024 x 768 pixels To run the echd, go to the website given above. Click on Click here to launch the echd. The echd does not run in a web browser, but requires the installation of specialized software on the computer. You have the option of simply running the program or saving it to your computer. Choosing the latter will create an desktop icon that will allow access to the dictionary.

The echd The echd has been modeled to look similar to the print version of the CHD. Upon opening the echd, the user is presented with a menu bar for logging in and out (once enabled this will allow users to save queries and such) and two main windows. The left hand windowpane is where navigation occurs. Tabs for an Introduction, the head letters L, M, N, P, and Queries are found there. When a tab is clicked, a list of all lemmas beginning with that letter is brought up. An article can be accessed by clicking on it. I. Viewing a dictionary article A. Layout The layout of the dictionary articles within the echd mimic that of the CHD, which itself imitates the CAD: CHD: echd:

The layout of the echd masks the more complex structure of the data behind each article. Each lemma is broken down into a series of high level fields that are structured to contain various data types. The data is combined based on the hierarchy of these fields (with xml mark-up appropriate to each field and subfield), resulting in the layout seen above. The data entry side of a particular lemma (here laḫma-) is shown here: This data structure for the dictionary is not simply a collection of text entries within fields. The OCHRE database of which the echd is a part, is a semistructured xml database which functions differently from the relational database used by programs such as Microsoft Excel. The latter is tabular in form and has a number of limitations (http://ochre.lib.uchicago.edu/index_files/page632.htm). The semistructured database of OCHRE utilizes hierarchical tree structures within (and among) which data can be recursively linked. This data structure places the emphasis on the item itself and not the category (the base system of organization in tabular databases), allowing the items to relate to one another in more complex ways. This has certain ramifications for the echd. Text numbers in the dictionary (i.e. publication data such as KUB 1.1) are not simply typed into a field in a dictionary lemma. Texts are separate items that have their own properties, such as dating of script and composition, CTH categorization (we thank the Mainz project for allowing us to use data from the Hittite Konkordanz), etc. When a particular text appears in a dictionary article, this is actually a link to the text as an item within the database with all of the

properties assigned to it. Therefore all KUB 1.1 s in the dictionary are actually one item with the database that is linked to whenever it is referenced. KBo 17.43 with properties This linking of items such as texts into the dictionary means that the data underlying the viewable dictionary article is extremely rich. The KBo 17.43 in the laḫma- article is not simply a series of keystrokes but rather contains all of the property information contained in its head item, such as its date (OS), basic CHD categorization ( festival ) and CTH categorization (CTH 649). A similar situation holds for morphology. Behind each sg. gen. or pres. sg. 2 is a much more detailed set of properties, such as stem for nouns and aspect, voice, mood, derivation, etc. for verbs. Each of these property fields is searchable, even though most of the data is hidden beneath the structure of the dictionary. For a list of morphological fields and their associated values see the Appendix. For a diagram illustrating some of the connections between various items in OCHRE see the following (blue lines indicate links to texts, red lines indicate connections between texts based on common CTH number, green lines indicate connections between texts based on script date; each of these connections are queriable). The diagram looks at the links between KBo 17.43 and dictionary articles (not all links represented) as well as the links between the properties of KBo 17.43 for category (CTH) and script date.

Viewing Options, etc. Above the dictionary lemma in the center pane is the following menu bar: PRINT ICON this currently does not function for the echd PDF ICON this creates a pdf of the dictionary article; one must first accept the University of Chicago s terms of use before being allowed to save the pdf to the computer. EXCEL ICON this creates an excel file; primarily used for other OCHRE projects. With the echd it creates two columns: a name (the lemma) and view which contains the entirety of the dictionary article. [LANGUAGE] [ENTRY TYPE] the default is English, the language of publication for the CHD and echd. The only other language available for the echd is Turkish. When Turkish is selected from the pull-down list, the part of speech, definition(s), and date for the lemma are shown in that language. The multi-lingual lingual option shows the definition(s) in both English and Turkish. this determines how the information of the dictionary article is to be displayed. There are four options: Full entry, Quick reference, Lemma only, and Outline view. For screenshots of each see below.

FULL ENTRY this displays the entire article QUICK REFERENCE this provides the following information: Lemma with part of speech, definition, and date; morphological analysis in its entirety; Lexicographic material when available; Bibliography; Cross references LEMMA ONLY provides just the lemma, part of speech, definition, and date OUTLINE VIEW of particular use with longer dictionary articles. Creates an expandable tree of the dictionary article, allowing the user to pinpoint exact places within it without having to scroll through the entire text. DISPLAY OPTIONS these options allow the user to modify the view of internal items within the articles. There are two options: Highlight links (checked by default) and Show color-coding. Highlight links places any item that has a link associated with it in a gray box. Show color-coding coding is a useful tool that places the various ancient languages in different colors within the article. Hittite is blue, Akkadian is red, Sumerian is pink, Hurrian is purple, Luwian is brown. Color-coding allows for the passages to stand out from the rest of the dictionary article. [KEYBOARD ICON] this brings up a keyboard that contains special diacritic characters. These are necessary to search for forms with that contain these special characters. SCREEN SHOTS OF VIEW OPTIONS FULL ENTRY:

QUICK REFERENCE: LEMMA ONLY: OUTLINE VIEW:

Query Given the nature of OCHRE as a semistructured database, the echd is able to perform rather complex queries on the marked-up information within it. This increased complexity in querying, however, also means that the query system itself will be more complex. As such the query system utilized by the echd is constantly being updated. The general format of queries within the online dictionary has now been set, although certain changes may yet occur. What follows is a general overview, including some examples, of how the query system functions. Accessing Query menu This is done by simply clicking on the Query tab at the top of the left pane. This will bring up the query menu and all of the options contained within: Query tools and icons Help and additional information Runs a subquery of a MULTIPLE or CONTEXTUAL QUERY adds a further instance of the selected query category for MULTIPLE or CONTEXTUAL QUERIES deletes extra instances of a selected query category for MULTIPLE or CONTEXTUAL QUERIES (?) located to the right of certain queriable items (especially morphological ones). Allows the user to search or exclude results tagged as questionable in the dictionary database. Cycle through options by clicking on them. (?) search for all items, including those marked as questionable [default] ~? exclude those things which are marked as questionable?? search for only those things which are marked as questionable Ø indicates that a subquery has not yet been run for CONTEXTUAL QUERIES

Query Results The results of a processed query appear in the right pane. The default return is in list form, giving the results in an alphanumerically arranged list. For returns on grammatical searches, the list consists of an alphabetical arrangement of transliterated forms. The lemma form is given after the transliteration in brackets. The user can also opt to display the query results in outline form. The outline is organized according to the lemma form and is arranged hierarchically. The number of results found within a particular lemma is given to right of the form in brackets. The list can be expanded by clicking on the arrow to the left of the lemma. Simple Queries Simple queries are designed to allow the user to search for any one particular item throughout the dictionary. There are a number of different preset categories that can be queried. For more complex queries involving multiple search criteria the user must check the ADVANCED OPTIONS? button and select either CONTEXTUAL QUERIES or MULTIPLE, TAB/LIST (see below). basic query advanced query

SELECT LEMMAS - This allows the user to quickly find any lemma within the dictionary. The two options under this ( Lemma(s) and Lemma, by name ) are largely identical in function. The former requires the user to select the desired lemma from a pull down menu accessed by clicking on SELECT CONTEXT button. The latter allows the user to either select the lemma from a list (using the SELECT button), or type in the desired lemma name. [NOTE: diacritics are required. The query system does not group all forms of a vowel or consonant together, therefore man is differentiated from mān, and entering /man/ will not find the latter form; the same holds for ḫ and š (e.g. /lah-/ will not find any results; /laḫ-/ will find laḫ- B; /lāḫ-/ will find laḫ- A] If a diacritic or special character is required, a keyboard can be accessed by clicking on the keyboard icon immediately to the LEFT of LEMMA on the tab in the central pane. GENERAL SEARCH this allows the user to search for any word within the dictionary. The issue with diacritics mentioned above holds here. Should the user want to limit the query to either a particular volume(s) of the dictionary or even to specific word(s), this can be done by clicking on the SELECT CONTEXT button. A separate window with an expandable hierarchy will be called up. To select a particular volume/lemma click on the box to its left.

RESTRICT SEARCH TO THE T FOLLOWING: Lemma - This searches for a lemma entry and is identical to the SELECT LEMMAS discussed above. Meaning -This searches the definition field for the lemmas. Morphological Analysis - This searches the morphology field. Lexical analysis -Restricts search to the Lexical analysis field of the dictionary articles. This field is found between the morphological and the semantic analysis sections. Transcription -Searches for Hittite words within the transcription of Hittite passages within the Semantic section of the dictionary. This query ignores characters such as full, half and curved brackets. Translation -Searches for words within the translations of Hittite passages. Bibliography -Searches bibliographic items. The linking of bibliographic material will be implemented in the near future. Discussions -Searches the discussion fields of the dictionary articles. Notes -Searches note fields. APPLY PROXIMITY CRITERIA This option allows the user to type more than one word into the SEARCH FOR field. It is important to note that these words do not have to be adjacent, or even in a particular order within the dictionary. With the default setting, the query system will look for the entered words regardless of their order (e.g. if A and B are entered, it will search for A then B as well as B and A ). The Respect order box, restricts the search to the order in which the words are entered into the search field (e.g. only A then B ). The query can be further expanded by using the WORDS APART option. This allows the query to look for combinations of the entered words while

allowing for a set amount of non-specified words to appear between them. If 4 is entered the query engine will look for any combination of the entered words up to 4 words apart. select this in order to search for two terms that may be separated by intervening terms select this in order to search the terms in the order in which you have entered them (e.g. if you enter A and B, it will search for only those results that are of the order A then B (with potential intervening signs)) Sets the maximum number of intervening words between the entered ones. (e.g. if set at 3 it will find the following (where x = intervening sign): A B, A x B, A x x B, A x x x B, and unless RESPECT ORDER is checked, it will find the same for B then A ) [Example: searching for all occurrences of sheep and slaughter that occur at a maximum distance of 10 words apart in the echd] Step 1 check the box GENERAL SEARCH -brings up the general search Example: general search criteria in the center pane Step 2 check the box ADVANCED OPTIONS? at top -brings up extra restrictions of left pane as well as proximity criteria Step 3 type sheep slaughter in SEARCH FOR box -this is what is being queried Step 4 check the box APPLY PROXIMITY CRITERIA -allows the queried terms to be searched even if they are not adjacent Step 5 select 10 under WORDS APART -allows for a maximum of 10 words between sheep and slaughter [Note that by not selecting RESPECT ORDER, the query will look for both sheep then slaughter as well as slaughter and then sheep ] Step 6 check the box next to TRANSLATION under -limits the search to translation Step 7 RESTRICT SEARCH TO THE FOLLOWING click PERFORM SIMPLE QUERY fields

The results are: papriya- He offers one sheep to the god Ḫilašši, they slaughter annali-(sheep) pata- They bring forth a sheep and [slaughter] it They slaughter one sheep and broil the liver and heart peran Next I offer one sheep to Uliliyašši, and they slaughter it down piddai- B While they slaughter the sheep Note: to combine searches such as [ sheep slaughter OR bull slaughter ] see below.

SELECT FORMS BASED ON MORPHOLOGY this allows the user to search the morphological section of the dictionary articles. There are five preset search categories: Verbs, Nouns, Pronouns, Adjectives and Adverbs. When a particular category of word is selected, a list of various morphosyntactic categories appears in the center pane. These take the form of pull down lists. Should a category be left blank (i.e. as <ANY VALUE>, it will not be considered in the category. Therefore the user only needs to select the categories relevant to his/her search. Certain categories have subcategories should the appropriate criteria be selected. The default operator for these categories is is, but is not, is present, is not present can be slected. Nominal categories Verbal categories The tree-structure of the echd database means that certain categories will have subcategories. For example, Tense is a subcategory of the Indicative Mood (Imperatives, the other mood in Hittite do not mark for tense). In order to access Tense, first select Indicative from mood, and then click on the ellipsis that appears to the right of the mood. This activates a window from which Tense can be selected.

[Example: to search for 3 rd sg. pret. škv- form verbs] Step 1 check the box next to FORMS, VERBS -brings up the verbal query window in the center pane Step 2 select indicative from MOOD -this limits the search to indicative verbal forms Step 3 click the yellow box with ellipsis that appears -there are subcategories under to the right of indicative indicative, and when indicative is selected, this activates these subcategories. If the box is not clicked, then all items of the subcategory are assumed to be selected. Step 4 in the window that appears, select the desired -given that imperatives do not tense have tense distinctions, this option does not appear when the imperative is selected from MOOD. Step 5 click DONE at the bottom of the pop-up window -this closes the window. Holding the cursor over the box with ellipsis will allow the user to see what subcategory item has been selected (here: Tense is preterit ) Step 6 select singular from NUMBER -limits search to singular forms Step 7 select 3 rd person from PERSON -limits search to third person Step 8 select -škv- (iterative) from DERIVATION -limits search to škv- forms Step 9 Click PERFORM QUERY at bottom of central pane -runs the query

[for a description of each category, see Appendix 1 below] SELECT TEXTS BASED ON. This query type searches for Texts within OCHRE. Given the nature of the database, texts are a separate data hierarchy from the dictionary article. They are linked into the dictionary when needed. A Text contains certain information such as date and script, CTH number, CHD category, 1 This category is of much more use in CONTEXTUAL QUERIES, which allow TEXT searches to be combined with DICTIONARY ones. ALL-PURPOSE QUERIES This query type is highly useful in that it allows for two query types: one that allows the user to search within specific categories (including queries that involve multiple categories), and another that allows detailed results of specific texts within the dictionary. SEARCH DICTIONARY FIELDS [SELECT option not currently functional] 1 the CHD has used its own terminology for the categorization of texts which is parallel to, but distinct from the CTH.

This is actually a remnant of the older query system within the echd. The user is presented with thirteen different categories. Search criteria can be typed into any white box (all category fields have this), and for certain categories, lists of options can be accessed by clicking on the SELECT button. TEXT: SUMMARY OF REFERENCES The user can either enter a text number in the Search for box or select one by clicking on the SELECT box and checking the desired text. This query looks for a the desired text in three sections of the dictionary articles: MORPHOLOGICAL ANALYSIS, SEMANTIC ANALYSIS (i.e. in passages treated), and OTHER REFERENCES (e.g. mention of the text in notes to a passage or in comments). Any or all can be selected by checking or unchecking the box to the left of it. MORPHOLOGICAL ANALYSIS returns the following: citation form, Grammatical form, Attested form, [Text #] gives line number(s), Text Dating (according to the dictionary) SEMANTIC ANALYSIS returns the following: citation form, path (where in the article, should the article contain multiple levels of outline), Meaning (gloss) of the path, Context (when provided), Transcription, Translation, [Text #] gives line number(s), Text Category (when available), Text dating (when available). OTHER REFERENCES returns the following: citation form, Context (typically a note), note/comment/discussion

Clicking on the Excel icon will create an Excel document of the search results. Scroll bar allows the user to see more of the results Column headings for References from Semantic Analysis Citation form - the lemma Grammatical form - the parsing as assigned in the CHD Attested form -the transcription of the form Text Source -Text publication number and line number(s) Text Dating -gives date when assigned

The order of column headings can be changed by clicking on and dragging a column heading left or right in the table Resulting Excel file Column headings for References from Semantic Analysis Citation form - the lemma Path - where in the lemma the citation occurs Meaning (gloss) - the meaning assigned to the path level where the citation is found Context - provides context to the Hittite transcription when available Transcription - the transcription of the Hittite passage Translation - translation of the Hittite, when available Text Source - gives text publication number and line numbers Text Category - gives the text genre as (and when) assigned Text Dating - gives any dates assigned

Other References returns any mention of the text within note and discussion fields, including the context in which it occurs. Multiple Queries This allows for multiple simple queries to be combined. The multiple queries can appear as either LISTS (i.e. a vertical display) or as TABS (horizontal). The PLUS (+) and X sign are part of these multiple queries. If the user want to search for two or more items within one category (e.g. a query for all 3 rd sg. pret. škv- verbs AND all 3 rd plural imperatives), then the user needs to check the appropriate category, and while it is highlighted, click on the PLUS (+) sign. This adds an identical category immediately below the one that was just checked. To the right of the checked category is a number representing the order in which the user has selected. To delete added categories, select one, and then, while it is highlighted, click the X box.

Multiple, tab and Multiple, list perform the same action. They simply display the search criteria in the center pane differently. The [Plus] and [X] can be clicked to add a further instance of the checked category. The order of the (here) General Search boxes can be changed by checking and unchecking the boxes. The order of checked categories in the left pane is reflected in the center pane by the identical number between parenthesis. The multiple categories can be combined in one of three ways: COMBINE functions as OR OVERLAP functions as AND EXCLUDE functions as NOT These can be accessed immediately to the right of any of the search categories marked as 2 or higher. COMBINE appears as the default option in red between the number (2), (3), etc. and the label of the search category. Clicking on COMBINE will change it to OVERLAP, which, when clicked, will change to EXCLUDE (and then back to COMBINE).

Multiple queries actually consist of two or more separate queries that can then be combined as mentioned above. As such, the results of the individual queries are given in the tab for each one. For example, a multiple query might look for active indicative-present tense third person plural and medio-passive indicative-present tense third person plural verbs. The active verb is the first query (marked as 1) and the medio-passive is the second (marked as 2). On the tab for each of these subqueries, we find the following: Forms, Verbs (this is the label for the category of search being run) (a magnifying glass) this allows the user to run the subquery [a set of numbers] these represent the return of the sub query; if you click on the number, then the results of the subquery will appear in the right hand pane (question mark) this brings up a help window In the hypothetical search from above, the return of the subquery of active 3pl.pres. verbs is a count of 242. The return for the medio-passive 3pl.pres. verbs is 45. To run the multiple query, click on the PERFORM COMPOUND QUERY button at the bottom of the center pane. [Example: search for all translations that have sheep slaughter OR bull slaughter OR goat slaughter (in any order)] Step 1 check the ADVANCED OPTIONS? box -allows for multiple queries and more general search options Step 2 follow the steps in the above example for sheep slaughter Step 3 check the box next to either MULTIPLE, LIST or -same options with different MULTIPLE, TAB display outcomes Step 4 click the [PLUS] sign -creates a second GENERAL SEARCH Step 5 click the box next to the new GENERAL SEARCH -activates a second GENERAL SEARCH window Step 6 repeat Step 2 replacing sheep slaughter with bull slaughter Step 7 repeat Steps 4-6, entering goat slaughter in SEARCH FOR field Step 8 make sure that both tabs 2 and 3 say COMBINE -COMBINE is an OR search; to change an OVERLAP to COMBINE, simply click on the words until COMBINE appears OVERLAP or EXCLUDE To run combined search: Click Perform multiple query

Optional steps to see individual query results before running the combined query: Each GENERAL SEARCH tab contains a magnifying glass, ø, and? (see above for their functions) - click on each magnifying glass to run the separate general queries - results will appear in place of the ø - individual results will be: sheep slaughter returns 4 results, bull slaughter returns 2, and goat slaughter returns 1 -to view the results of the individual searches, click on the number in the tab that represents the number of results the search; results will appear in the right pane Click on the magnifying glass to run single queries This number indicates the number of returns on this single search

Clicking on the number runs the single search, and the results appear in the right pane Contextual Queries These are the most complex, and we are working on tweaking the environment for this powerful query type. The concept of CONTEXTUAL QUERIES is that of nested searches. It allows the user to query items within items. This is required due to the conceptual nature of the OCHRE database utilized by the echd. The CONTEXTUAL QUERY is currently set up in an outline-style hierarchy, with upper level containers located both spatially above and to the left of the subitem(s). A characteristic of CONTEXTUAL QUERIES within the echd is that the user can perform queries at different levels of the hierarchy. Most complex contextual queries, such as searching for all texts (of a particular genre/publication number) of a certain date within the dictionary (or specific sections of it), will be pre-made for the user. The user will be able to select specific criteria within pre-specified fields. The option to build one s own CONTEXTUAL QUERY is available (for the steps required to construct such a query, see Appendix). The CONTEXTUAL QUERIES will likely be most useful for searching Texts within the dictionary. This will include the ability to search for texts by CTH (or CHD) category, excavation number, and date. Example: find all OS Ritual texts (CTH 390-500) in the P volume

Fields to be searched in a hierarchic structure: here Texts, by CTH number and Texts, by Date and Script are sisters that are subordinate to Lemma. This means that the query will look for all Lemma(s) that contain Texts of a particular CTH category/categories and date Where specific criteria can be selected (highlighted) field (here Text by Date and Script Query results This particular query is three separate queries that, given the hierarchical structure of the CONTEXTUAL QUERY can be further defined through scoping (here the scope is the P volume). The queries are:

Scoping within P volume: The User can navigate to any level of the dictionary through this pop-up window, restricting or broadening the search as needed. Defining the CTH category to be searched: The CTH categories can also be viewed as a running list The search can be as specific or as general as desired. Here, all Ritual texts have been chosen, but one or more particular texts can also be selected

Script can be accessed from the pulldown menu, but date of composition, as a DATE field, is accessed from the SELECT DATE button. Date of composition can be general (OH, MH, NH) or much more specific (i.e. associated to a particular king), although the latter is only applicable to those Texts have king names as date properties Given that the CONTEXTUAL QUERY consists of multiple sub-queries, these sub-queries can be run and their results checked. Runs the query for Texts, by Date and Script = Old Script Indicates the number of results Runs the query: find all texts where Texts = Rituals (CTH 390-500) AND Texts = Old Script Shows the number of returns on the query; Clicking on the number will give you the results in the right pane

The functionality of a CONTEXTUAL QUERY is best demonstrated by an example. Texts, as items, exist outside of the dictionary entries and are present as links.
