Cuneiform Sign She Plus Nam2

It has no single gloss; it is a one-sign variant of ŠE.NAM₂.

The sign-list label ŠE plus NAM₂ names the compound's two parts. Its usual spelling uses both signs, while 𒔴 is a single variant form. Sign lists record readings such as susₓ, šušₓ, and šušin; the surrounding text, not an English word, selects the reading.

A grain-accounting text from Uruk, an ancient Mesopotamian city, around 3100 BCE, pairs the compound with barley quantities and sanga, a title for an accounting official. This places an early attested use in practical administration.

Why does its reading change?

Its reading depends on the text, period, and neighboring signs.

In the Late Uruk and Early Dynastic periods, scribes revised spellings in office and staff lists. One staff-list sequence places ŠE+NAM₂ beside ŠITA, another sign. A related form is written MUŠ₃.EREN and given the reading šušin. These uppercase forms are scholarly sign spellings, not English words.

One interpretation links šušin to Susa. In animal-account texts, scholars have debated whether ŠE+NAM₂ describes unusual animals or the official handling them. Keep the reading with its passage: the glyph alone does not settle that question.

What does it mean when someone sends 𒔴?

Alone, it reads as an ancient-script reference, not a settled chat gloss.

Ask what passage or transliteration the sender intends before giving it a meaning.
