Remaining Unknowns from "Ur Excavation Texts II" |
This is a list of archaic signs, corresponding to the lists LAK for Fara and the list KWU for Ur III 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).. |
Signs which have sufficient distinctiveness that they are more likely to be identifiable (or perhaps already have been identified by specialists or in publications?): 24 |
Signs which are so rarely attested or so fragmentary that their identification is on average more difficult 16 |

Much of the analytical material on this web site will be included in an etymological study and concordance to cuneiform signs, to be published shortly, and may be used to validate the sign list, but should not be cited in any detail until it is published (guaranteed 2004 probably spring). Permission is granted for others to use the information on these web pages for preparation of a proposal to Unicode for a standard encoding of Cuneiform.
