Possibly because Hittite was written in cuneiform script and cuneiform means 'wedge shaped' ?

"Hittite and other, generally older texts were written using cuneiform script, which was formed by pressing a WEDGE-shaped stylus into moist clay".

(it's not an answer that would have occurred to me unless resorting to finding a word to fit the letters)
