An extensive Gallery of Unicode Fonts, at a site that purports to provide four basic travel phrases in many languages. Is the Hittite accurate?

    It should be. :)

    So you’re responsible for the Hittite, Angelo? Where’s the ‘there’ in “Don’t touch me there”?

    Sort of. David already had the Hittite figured out. I just came up with the cuneiform. Bridget of ilani ilani corrected # 3 (it had originally been “kuappi bar”). I corrected # 4 from 3rd sg. indicative “epzi” to 2nd sg. imperative. I realized the missing ‘there’ too late. For the Oscan and Umbrian, I’m completely to blame (cf. http://caelestis.info/sauvagenoble/2005/02/sabellian-on-go.html).
