1 In BKU x,31. 4–6, 32. no. 66, ‘the Silver-man’ (written Kha-at-wa in Proto- Hittite) is associated with ‘the Dog-man’ and said to shout ‘Awaya!’

2 In the annals of Telibinus I, about B.C. 1700 (BKT. 11, I, 44) the name is written ‘the mountain of Barsukhandas’, and associated with Barminiyas or Banviniyas. In the chronicle of the invasion of Cappadocia by Sargon of Akkad also ‘Bursakhanda’ is described as situated on a mountain (the Ala-dagh). Ala-dagh in Turkish signifies ‘horse’ like the Arabic Farash (faras, ‘mare’), Hebrew, pharash. The Semitic word was borrowed from the Hittite paras ‘horse’ (from which Barwiniyas or Panviniyas may be a derivative).
