Sumario:This article gathers a number of Hurrian words that can be found in Nuzi texts and that were not identified as such by previous research. Various attempts to understand these words within the framework of the Akkadian language have resulted in different, often diverging, suggestions for translation. Albeit still imperfect, the knowledge of the Hurrian language has increased significantly over the last few decades, thus allowing us to identify these words as belonging to Hurrian. Although in some cases their meanings remain unclear, the words gathered here slightly enhance the knowledge of the Hurrian lexicon and the distribution and number of attestations of some forms.
