Analysis and reports to support an international standard for computer encoding of the Cuneiform writing system

Research on the development of Cuneiform signs

 

Remaining Unknowns from "Répertoire Commenté des Signes Présargoniques Sumériens de Laga$ " by Yvonne Rosengarten, 1967

 

As a supplement to the list of Fara signs which I have not yet been able to plausibly identify with those in other lists, here is a corresponding list for this source.

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)..

 

Rosengarten Répertoire numbers which I have not managed to identify

202
211
216 sequence of signs ?
222 = LAK 535
283 DUB x (GA.A)
313
344 = LAK 93
359
360
374
379 = LAK 526 (contrast R378 = LAK 527)

 

Rosengarten Répertoire numbers which may not be equivalent to the Deimel (Labat) or LAK numbers which are assigned to them in the Répertoire

("L" numbers are Labat, usually the same as Deimel numbers)
127 not = L336
211 not = L190h
215 not = L352
221 = L319 only, not the other L numbers
246 GA2 x EN not = L270 GA2 x (ME.EN)
292
299 SHEN x A not = L317 SHID x A
352 x ASHGAB not = L394c x SA
361 has an empty center, not = L338
365 not = LAK151 ?
367 not = L226

Rosengarten Répertoire numbers which I am at least tentatively presuming are seqences rather than single signs

007, 029, 031 (number signs followed by BUR3)
011 single wedge followed by DAR
083 AN.NA "nagga"
097 NUN.KI "ERIDU"
157 ? SAL.USH.DI
160 ? AB2.KU
172 PAD?.AN.MUSH3
234 GISH.UH3
235 GISH.TUG2.PI.(TE.A).DU (not necessarily in that order)
254 DUR2(?).GAR
272 EN.E2.KI "NIBIR"
287 (EZEN x BAD).AN
319 DI.UD
323 UD.UD
324 UD.SHA
327 UD.MA2.SIRARA.TAG "SIRARA3"
342 SHIR.LA.BUR.KI "LAGA$" or SHIR.BUR.LA
349 NUNUZ.DU8.A or NUNUZ.GAB.A
382 TUR.TUR
386 KUG.GI
389 ZAG.HA "e$$ad" (ZAG = Labat 332)
