Compare Hebrew חִטָּה (ḥiṭṭā́, “wheat”), Ugaritic 𐎈𐎉𐎚 (ḥṭt, “wheat”), Jewish Palestinian Aramaic and Jewish Babylonian Aramaic חִיטְּתָא (ḥiṭtəṯā, “wheat”) (absolute state: חִיטָּא (ḥiṭṭā)) / ܚܛܬܐ (ḥeṭtəṯā, “wheat”) (absolute state: ܚܛܐ (ḥeṭṭā)), Imperial Aramaic 𐡇𐡍𐡈𐡕𐡀 (ḥnṭtʾ, “wheat”) (absolute state: 𐡇𐡍𐡈𐡀 (ḥnṭʾ)), Palmyrene Aramaic 𐡧𐡨𐡠 (ḥṭʾ) (emphatic). Ge'ez ኅጠት (ḫəṭṭät), ሕጠት (ḥəṭṭät, “grain”), Soqotri ḥinṭeh (“wheat”), Mehri ḥeyṭ (“wheat”), Akkadian 𒊺 (/⁠uṭṭatu, eṭṭetu⁠/, “edible grains or kernels, especially barley or wheat”).
