What 𒊷 means
Read it with the surrounding word.
SA₆/SAG₉ can mean “good,” “beautiful,” or “pleasing”; gešnimbar/GIŠIMMAR means “date palm.” Akkadian, another ancient cuneiform language, borrowed 𒊷 as a whole-word spelling, a Sumerogram. Cuneiform began as clay record-keeping; an administrative tablet dated ca. 3100–2900 BCE shows that use. Later it carried sounds, literature, and law.
