Let's make this birthday one to remember.

93 years old (Born on January 24, 1932)

Happy birthday to the legendary Jaan Puhvel, whose groundbreaking Hittite Etymological Dictionary has single-handedly made ancient linguistics cool again! Your tireless dedication and meticulous scholarship have inspired countless students—and baffled just as many spellcheckers.

From Estonia to America, your linguistic adventures span continents and millennia. Whether unraveling Indo-European mysteries or charming colleagues with witty anecdotes about obscure Hittite verbs, you've proven that etymology can indeed be entertaining. Here's wishing you another year filled with fascinating discoveries, joyful moments deciphering ancient texts—and perhaps finally convincing everyone at parties that "Hattic" isn't a typo!

Cheers to you on this timeless milestone!
