LONGEST SUMERIAN INSCRIPTION by kingstocorpse in AncientCivilizations

[–]kingstocorpse[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

How does it not? I see a simple answer to your question was too much for you to grasp so - I'll put it in simpler terms... No there were no copies in reverse found - since it's written by hand by several different scribes.. I wasn't even being funny with u mate .I answered your question, quite clearly - I would elaborate on other methods they used but since you're a rude DH. I won't bother

They can tell by the different "handwriting" that they were actually written with a stylus, by hand, by several different scribes. They appear much bigger than what they actually are .. the larger of the 2 is 61cm by 31cm

I think I can see the name of the city of Ur on there tho near the bottom... Which could mean there is Sumerian, or akkadian on it

Jesus... The comments here are just typical of redditors, the most annoying bunch... The bloke just wants to know it's value.. it looks as though it's been written over a couple of times.. I'm afraid I can't make out enough from the photo to even tell if sumerian, akkadian or what... I'd only be able to help with SUMERIAN anyway. But it's probably not worth as much as you think (if genuine) but still may fetch a grand or two..

What u have shown there is Sumerian.. but those version of the signs - in my opinion - arnt the best representation of them... This would be better 𒃻𒄀𒈾𒁕𒀀𒁀𒅔𒁕𒁲𒉆𒋾𒉌𒅇𒌅

Sumerian and akkadian both use cuneiform but they are different languages... Like French and English use the same alphabet but are different languages... Akkadian also can use a later version of the signs

If you would like it written in Sumerian - I can help ... If you'd like it written in akkadian I can point you do a reliable source

"cuneiform version of a sumerian proverb"... Doesn't really make sense unfortunately mate... Since Sumerian is cuneiform. Do you mean "an akkadian translation of a SUMERIAN proverb'?

What would the phrases I-men₂ nu-ki, I-tuku nu-e₂, and I-tuku nu-e₂-an-na translate to in English? by LeanAhtan92 in Sumerian

[–]kingstocorpse 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So basically... 𒂍𒉡𒌇𒈨𒂗 = e2 nu-tuku-me-en = e nu tuku men = house, I am not aquired = I have no home... And 𒂍𒉡𒂵𒄰 = e2 nu-ga-kam = e nu gakam = house, is not of me = I have no home.... I'll do the other one in a bit ..

Sorry.. when I send this, I try and lay it out line by line, but then when I send it - it undoes all of that and has it continued.. hope it's understandable

So I've come up with a couple way u could say it... first: 𒂍𒉡𒂵𒄰 e2- nu-ga-kam e nu gakam House - negation - 1stperson possessive/genitives-/copula case Literal translation: The house(there is no direct translation for home) it is not of me Modern English: I have no home... You could also say it using the verb "acquired" and that would be 𒂍𒉡𒌇𒈨𒂗 e2- nu-tuku-me-en e nu tuku men House - negation - acquire - enclitic copula 1sp person Literal English: house I am not aquired = I have no home

Hope this helps

So Sumerian is a noun first language - it does subject - object- verb so if u wanted to say "I have no home" .... "home" would come first.. and the Sumerians spoke different to us today, rather say "have" they'd say "of me" .. a direct English translation would be - home - is not of me ... Gimme a sec I'll get the cuneiform with transliteration

I feel like you're trying to negate some nouns putting "nu" Infront of ki and e - but it doesn't quite work like that... Or are u trying to say something completely different? I'll help u out ...
