Abstract
Abstract This paper investigates the distribution and use of the Hieroglyphic Luwian signs □ (L 100) and □ (L 29), expanding on and reacting to Rieken 2010. It appears and are used contrastively not only in a select subset of texts from the Karkamiš region, but in large parts of the Hieroglyphic Luwian corpus in general. Word-internally, appears to be used wherever we expect to find a short stop (either voiced or voiceless), while is used for long (fortis) stops. This suggests that consonantal length was at least a phonetic feature in Hieroglyphic Luwian.
