After enlisting numerous remnants of Hurro-Urartian in Kurdish vocabulary and morpheme system, now it is time to recognize loans which have entered Kurdish via Hurro-Urartian. The largest group of loans which have entered Kurdish via Hurro-Urartian belongs to Hittite, being in contact with Hurro-Urartian for millennia. It is worth reminding that the Hurro-Urartian form alongside the Iranic ''Syctho-Cimmerian'' the other pillar of Kurdish language.We had already listed Slavic lexemes entered Kurdish via Scytho-Cimmerian.
To clarify the situation following formula is helpful:
Kurdish is formed of
1) Hurro-Urartian (+ Hittite loans)
2)Scytho-Cimmerian (+ Slavic loans)
Of course at later periods, especially during post-Islamic period, Kurdish has also adopted loans from some other languages: (Persian, Arabic, Turkish, French, English)
Now, list of Hittite words in Kurdish:

Hittite: kulaka
Kurdish: kolaka (typical o<u in central and northern Kurdish)
kin
Hittite: hasmi
Kurdish: xizm
clay
Hittite: purut

Hittite: karpi (fury, anger)
Kurdish: kilpa (fiery)

The list is to be completed.
