Remaining Unknowns from "Die Keilschriftzeichen der Wirtschaftsurkunden von Ur III" by Nikolaus Schneider (KWU) |
As a supplement to the list of Fara signs which I have not yet been able to plausibly identify with those in other lists, or not able to identify the components of complex signs, here is the correponding list for the KWU Ur III list. First some corrections to the cross-references within that list. Thanks for any help identifying any of the items I have not been able to, either identifying with signs in other lists / from other eras, or identifying the components when that is possible. References to specialist literature are very welcome; also findings of specialists even if not published (with indication of use or not, and how credit should be cited).. |
Cross-Reference Corrections within the KWU list (this is only partial, the ones I wrote into my copy) 142 reference to 740 is wrong |
KWU numbers which are presumably not single signs but sequences 645 "often written separately", so by that criterion most
unlikely to be a single sign
KWU numbers which conflate presumably distinct signs (at least components
are probably distinct) 838
KWU numbers which I currently regard as unknowns. Some so rarely attested or so fragmentary that their identification is on average more difficult 69 |
