 To the basic distinction between adapted and non-adapted loanwords, some linguists add a halfway type, the so-called “acclimatised” loanwords (see e.g. Cotticelli Kurras 2012, with further references), i.e. phonologically and morphologically non-adapted loanwords that, however, are well established in the lexicon and produce derivative words based on productive word-formation rules of the target language (this is the situation of many loanwords in Italian, e.g. bar, scanner, etc., from which the noun <I>barista</I> and the verb <I>scannerizzare</I> are derived respectively). However, base productivity should be regarded as a distinct parameter, because adapted loanwords may or may not be productive too. Therefore, based on the two criteria of phonological and morphological integration and base productivity, the following categorization in four types established by S. Merlin and V. Pisaniello is employed in our framework:</p>

		+
		+	==Examples==
		+	<p>For ancient languages, the allocation of each loanword to one of the four types can only be based on currently available data (i.e. the classification of loanwords into types I-III is always provisional, while a type IV loanword is generally unproblematic, although a preceding or coexisting and concurrent loan of different type could exist). The Anatolian and Ancient Near Eastern areas are no exception to this rule. Examples, however, are manifold; here we offer some examples based on the data on pre-classical Anatolia, mostly from Hittite, whose large corpus allows a better evaluation of the different cases.</p><p>
		+	A general tendency to assign its own inflectional morphology sometimes makes the identification of non-integrated loanwords rather difficult in Hittite. However, some Luwian loanwords are currently only attested as foreign words in Hittite texts, i.e. with unique Luwian ending, e.g. the verb <I>tapar-</I> ‘to rule’, which is an example of type I loan (vs. related <I>tapariya- ‘id.’</I>, also borrowed in Hittite, but morphologically integrated and productive, i.e. a type IV loan). In Bronze age Luwian, non-integrated loanwords are virtually non-existent, given a marked tendency to adapt borrowings as neuter stems in -it (see e.g. Hurrian loanwords in Luwian collected by Simon 2020).</p><p>
		+	As mentioned, the same loanword may at times occur both as a foreign word and as an integrated loan, e.g. <I>šinapši-</I> (a building, from Hurrian), sometimes occurring uninflected with genitive and dative function, besides the corresponding integrated forms <I>šinapšiaš</I> and <I>šinapšiya</I> (cf. CHD Š, 375-378), and perhaps <I>zippulašne</I> ‘bread’ (from Hattian), seemingly uninflected in OH (but only with nominative and accusative function, thus an interpretation as a neuter integrated loan cannot be excluded) and later occurring as a common gender i-stem. No derivatives are attested so far in Hittite; therefore, these cases illustrate both type I and type III.</p><p>
		+	Examples of type IV loanwords can be easily found in the Anatolian corpora. An interesting case is the Hitt. noun <I>arzana-</I>, denoting a building, usually translated as ‘inn, hostel, brothel’: it is a loan from Akkadian <I>arsānu</I>, designating a kind of groats, and was borrowed and integrated in Hittite with its original meaning, since it occurs in genitive case determining the noun <I>per/parn-</I> ‘house’ (Sum. É), in a phrase literally meaning ‘porridge-house’ (arzanaš per/parn-). Later, <I>arzana-</I> probably came to metonymically designate the building itself, because we find examples like acc.sg. É <I>arzanan</I> and abl. É <I>arzanaz</I>, where É should be regarded as a determinative, and the word became productive with this new meaning in the Hittite lexicon, producing the derivative <sup>LÚ</sup><I>arzanala-</I> ‘attendant of the arzana-house’ and the denominative verb arzanai- ‘quarter, billet’ (cf. Yakubovich 2006, 44-45).</p>
