Could you please tell me where the answer for #5 was found? The question is "What is the Hittite word for repairman?"
In "History Resource Center: World" search for HITTITES. The second article that comes up on the list is "Private Life Among the Hittites", which gives lots of details about Hittite culture and daily life. About halfway down starts a section called "Labor Activity." Repairmen are listed under the heading "artisans."

Thanks!
