Usage notes

[edit]
  • In Old Babylonian this sign was also used to represent a glottal stop. When that happens, some Assyriologists assign to this sign the value: ʾa₄. From Middle Babylonian on, the glottal stop was indicated by the sign 𒀪, originated as a graphic differentiation of 𒄴.

Sumerian

[edit]

Etymology

[edit]

A term found in the alleged Euphratic substrate theory, which connects it to Proto-Indo-European *dʰǵʰu- (fish). This word in particular is not of atypical syllable structure for being native Sumerian, which is the main sign indicating a potential borrowing into the language. Concurring with the opinion of Pennsylvania State University's Dr. Rubio, the borrowing from multiple languages rather than a specific substratum is now the predominant viewpoint in the field.

Noun

[edit]

𒄩 (ku₆, kud /kud/)

  1. fish
