Abbawiya

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Land of Luwiya

Abbawiya was an ancient region of Anatolia located in classical Phrygia during the Middle Bronze Age.

The etymology of Abbawiya is unknown. It may have been an Arzawan formulaic theophoric name [1] combining dlugal-a-ab-ba[2] with the Luwic suffix wiya ("sent from").[3]

Geography

Abbawiya is equated with the Classical Abbaitis,[4] a town in the modern Simav District of Kütahya Province.[5] It "lay on a route between Ialanda and Milawatas" and "was approached by a hill climb."[6]
