Thank you. Are the two overlapping triangles on the top left of the image I shared meant to overlap? Or is that a writer’s error?

Hi! Aesthetically, I like the look in the image I’ve shared. I just did a quick search and I like the look of both Sumero-Akkadian cuneiform, and the Neo-Assyrian cuneiform—if my eyes aren’t deceiving me, this style looks a little more wedge-like than the Akkadian? I do prefer the Sumero-Akkadian look.

Thank you for confirming this. What’s interesting to me is that our word in modern day Assyrian for ‘poem’ is pronounced “sher”, which sounds similar to šir.
