Abstract :L`article de J.D. HAWKINS, A. MORPURGO—DAVIES et G. NEUMANN publie en 1974 insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(cf [4] de la bibliographie in fine); a mis en evidence la necessite d`un profond re-examen du dechiffrement de l`ecriture hittite hieroglyphique. Comme le soulignent en particulier les auteurs de cet article, `it is apparent that the process of decipherment cannot yet be considered as completed... Often there is no agreement about the vocalic value of the consonantal signs; is it possible to attribute to some signs a double or even triple vocalization or should we assume that normally each sign has only one vocalization?... All to often it remains unclear whether the uneveness depends on a lack of systematic organization in the script itself or on the inadequacy of the modern decipherment..”.
