Hurrians

   Also found in: Wikipedia 0.01 sec.

Hurrians

Ancient inhabitants of Syria, Upper Mesopotamia, east of the Tigris (possibly the biblical Horites), in the 18th to 14th centuries BC. Their culture and customs are known from thousands of cuneiform tablets found at Nuzi, Boghaz-koi, Ras Shamra, and Alalakh.

The Hurrian language, still only partially understood, is agglutinative and related to the language of the later kingdom of Urartu.
