    D. Proposal1 Introduction and early history

    The earliest stage of Mesopotamian Cuneiform, as a complete system of writing, is first attested in

    Uruk during the so-called Uruk IV period (ca. 35003200 BCE) with an initial repertoire of about 700

    characters or signs as cuneiform scholars customarily call them.

    Writing emerged in Sumer simultaneously with a sudden growth in urbanization and an attendant

    increase in the scope and scale of administrative needs. A large proportion of the elements of the

    early writing system repertoire was devised to represent quantities and commodities for bureaucratic

    purposes.

    At this earliest stage, signs were mainly pictographic, in that a relatively faithful facsimile of the

    thing signified was traced, though some items were strictly ideographic in that they were representedby completely arbitrary abstractions, such as the symbol for sheep: . Some scholars believe that

    the abstract symbols were derived from an earlier token system of accounting, but there is no

    general agreement on this point.

    Where the pictographs are concerned, interpretation was relatively straightforward. The head of a

    bull was used to denote cattle; an ear of barley was used to denote barley. In some cases,

    pictographs were also interpreted logographically; meaning was derived from the symbol by close

    conceptual association. For example, the representation of a bowl might mean bowl, but it could

    just as well indicate concepts associated with bowls, such as food. Renditions of a leg might

    variously suggest leg, stand, or walk. By the next chronological period of south Mesopotamianhistory (the Uruk III period, 32002900 BCE), logographic usage seems to have become much more

    widespread. In addition, individual signs were combined into more complex designs to express other

    concepts: for example, a head with a bowl next to it was used to denote eat or drink. This is the

    point during script development at which one can truly speak of the first Sumerian texts. In due

    course, the early graphs underwent change, conditioned by several factors: the most widely available

    writing medium, the most widely available writing tools, and the need to record information more

    quickly and more efficiently from the standpoint of the bureaucracy for whose use the system was

    invented in the first place.

    The obvious writing medium in Sumer was clay, since it was widely available and easily moulded

    into suitable shapes (cushion or pillow-shaped tablets), and writing utensils were easily made forit by sharpening pieces of reed. Since inscribing curvilinear lines in a piece of clay with a sharpened

    reed (called a stylus) was awkward and slow, the tendency on the part of scribes was to

    approximate the pictographs by means of short, wedge-shaped impressions made with the edge of

    the stylus. It is these short, mainly straight shapes which have given rise to the modern word

    cuneiform (from the Latin cuneus, meaning wedge). Cuneiform proper was common from about

    2700 BCE (see Figure 2) though it should be noted that the term cuneiform is understood by experts

    in the script to include the earlier forms as well.

    Figure 2: Evolution of Cuneiform from early pictographs

    Page 4

    5/27

    Naturally, as there is an infinite number of ways to approximate a curve by means of short line

    segments, there were many different approximations to the original round shapes. This is particularly

    evident in the early script, but even in the latest periods of use of Cuneiform, one can almost never

    think of a single canonical form of any given sign. At best, one can speak of prominent patterns

    in a given place at a given time.

    As can be seen in Figure 2, the orientation of signs shifted at some point in time, mainly due to theevolution of tablet shapes and the manner in which they were held by the scribes. It is difficult to

    specify this time exactly, but most scholars are inclined to believe that it took place during the so-

    called Early Dynastic Period (29002335 BCE).

    It should be noted that the discussion given here has concentrated on the local Mesopotamian

    contribution to the development of the system. It is of course true that late fourth millennium

    ideographic tablets were found in other places than Uruk, notably at Susa and several other west

    Iranian sites, at Nineveh and Tell Brak in Assyria, and even at Habuba Kabira in Syria. The writing

    system developed in Sumer was repeatedly exported to peripheral regions in the third, second and

    first millennia BCE. Though local variations in usage are attested, it is valid to discuss script evolution

    in terms of the core Sumero-Akkadian writing system.

    1.1 Overview of the spread of Cuneiform usage

    The Sumerians did not live in complete isolation, and from a very early period there is evidence for

    the presence of another significant linguistic group in the area immediately north of Sumer known

    as Agade or Akkad (see Figure 1). Those peoples spoke a Semitic language all of whose dialects are

    subsumed by scholars under the heading Akkadian. In the long run, it was the Akkadian speakers

    who became the primary users and promulgators of Cuneiform script. Because of their trade

    involvement with their neighbours, Cuneiform spread through Babylonia (the umbrella term for

    Sumer and Akkad) to Elam, Assyria, eastern Syria, southern Anatolia, and even Egypt. Ultimately,

    many languages came to be written in Cuneiform script, the most notable being:

    Sumerian

    Akkadian (including Babylonian, Assyrian, Eblaite)

    Elamite

    Hittite

    Hurrian

    For the practical purposes of encoding, it is helpful to define time-space categories of script usage

    according to geography and primary linguistic representation as shown in Figure 3 below.

    2 Legacy encodings and the the use of this encoding

    Unlike many other scripts, there is for all intents and purposes no standard legacy encoding of

    Cuneiform to take into account. There are a few reasons for this: primarily the fact that the encoding

    of 600+ items was not possible in the pre-Unicode world of 8-bit fonts, other than by overloading

    codepoints which could only be differentiated on a mark-up level (such as font-switching); and such

    mark-up was never implemented in any consistent fashion leading to an accepted standard.

    In addition, much of the scholarly work takes place on the level of deciphering and redrafting signs

    found in autographs (in other words, in engaging in hand-writing analysis). Cuneiform signs are

    almost all multivalent, and the transmission of document content is in general most useful only whensign identification is packaged alongside sign interpretation. Since the solution offered by font

    Page 5

  • 8/22/2019 On Sumerian Writing

    6/27

    mark-up encodings was not able to accommodate this need, pre-Unicode encodings of Cuneiform

    found little support in the user community and consequently never emerged as any kind of standard.

    There do exist some fonts which had a measure of commercial success (such as it was); Michael

    Everson supplied an analysis of one of these in N2297.

    3 General principles of encoding

    The following represents a rsum of the principles which have found consensus since the beginning

    of the encoding venture, and which have been or are expected to be applied to the provisionalcharacter list. It may be helpful to note here that Cuneiform signs and Cuneiform characters do

    not correspond in one-to-one relationship. It is clear that many signs could be treated as molecular

    rather than atomic in nature, though it is not yet altogether clear, in certain cases, which treatment

    should be applied. It was recognized that these principles are general rather than absolute, and that

    following their general application, signs/characters must be reviewed on a case by case basis.

    3.1 Chronology

    It was agreed that in the interests of breaking up the task into manageable chunks, encoding will be

    done by stages, and that the first stage encoding will notinclude Archaic Cuneiform, but will take

    into account factors arising from the earliest stages of cuneiform to the extent that these are alreadyknown and understood; that is, no special effort has been made to go farther back than Ur III. It is

    felt that this will afford the necessary practical expediency while minimizing the risk of having to

    deprecate first stage characters at a later date. Thus, the task of encoding the complete Cuneiform

    repertoire is likely to unfold as follows:

    Stage One: Ur III through late periods, and including all major contemporaneous script users;

    Stage Two: Old Akkadian and Early Dynastic and any remaining minor script users;

    Stage Three: Archaic Cuneiform.

    Archaic may require an entire separate block.

    3.2 Base character inventory

    The base character inventory has been distilled from the list of Ur III signs compiled by the

    Cuneiform Digital Library Initiative (UCLA) in union with the list constructed independently by

    Miguel Civil. The resultant base list is intended to be comprehensive from Ur III onwards including

    the most recently published results of an ongoing major scholarly reappraisal of the earlier Fara

    script (see Manfred Krebernik, Orbis Biblicus et Orientalis vol. 160/1). It is felt that com-

    prehensiveness at the level of Old Akkadian and earlier periods is not appropriate given the currentstate of palaeographic research.

    3.3 Mergers and splits

    Mergers and splits have been discussed and the decision was made that such occurrences must be

    encoded at the point of maximum differentiation, even when this results in the duplication of glyphs

    as represented in fonts appropriate for some periods.

    3.4 Complex and compound signs

    For the sake of ensuring ease of communication, the terms complex and compound in relation

    to Cuneiform signs have been defi

    ned as follows:

    Complex signs: signs made up of a primary sign with one of more secondary signs

    written within it or otherwise conjoined to it, such that the whole is generally treated by

    scholars as a unit; this includes linear sequences of two or more signs or wedge-clusters

    where one or more of said clusters have not been clearly identified as characters in their

    own right.

    Compound signs: linear sequences of two or more signs or wedge-clusters generally

    treated by scholars as a single unit, when each and every such wedge-cluster exists as a

    clearly identified character in its own right.

    In light of these definitions, the following principles have been ratified:

    Complex signs, which present a relative visual unity, are assigned single individual

    code points irrespective of their components.

    Compound signs are encoded as sequences of their component characters.

    In general, signs which shift from compound to complex or vice versa have been treated according

    to their Ur III manifestation.

    3.5 Glyph variants acquiring independent semantic status

    Glyph variants such as TA*, a Middle Assyrian form of the sign TA which in Neo-Assyrian usage has

    its own logographic interpretation, have been assigned their own code positions, to be used only

    when the new interpretation applies.

    3.6 Punctuation marks. The small number of signs occasionally used in cuneiform to indicate word

    division, repetition or phrase separation have been assigned code positions.

    3.7 Special case: Numerals

    In general, numerals have been encoded separately from signs which are visually identical butsemantically different (e.g. ONE BAN2, TWO BAN2, etc. vs. MASH, PA, etc.). The distinction between

    Page 7

  • 8/22/2019 On Sumerian Writing

    8/27

    curved numerals and their cuneiform descendants is treated as glyphic for the purposes of the present

    proposal; this issue will need to be revisited in subsequent encoding phases.

    3.8 Mark-up/formatting. Case ruling and the like is considered formatting and is not to be treated

    as punctuation and hence is irrelevant to the encoding.

    3.9 Character orderVarious alternatives have been suggested including using the traditional numbering, which itself

    derives from a formal ordering by first millennium character shapes; devising an ordering based on

    form which is better matched to the third millennium glyphs which appear in the character tables; or

    simply ordering the characters alphabetically according to their transliteration. A variant of the latter

    alternative has been chosen in this document: it is alphabetical by primary sign name with complex

    signs based on the primary sign organized according to graphic principles; in some cases, these

    correspond to the native analyses.

    Changes in Cuneiform Proposal Between N2698 and this Document

    Additions

    Corrections submitted by Lloyd Anderson and John Halloran, unification of N2698 against Rykle Borger, MesopotamischesZeichenlexicon(Munster, 2003) and the ongoing work on the PSD registry of words and writings and the CDLI signlist haveproduced the following necessary additions:

    Removals

    Removals have been made for several reasons, generally as detailed below. In the case of signs previously listed as LAL2 TIMESXXX, neither unification with Borger, Mesopotamisches Zeichenlexikon nor collation of ancient lexical lists favors theirimplementation as container signs. As in the case of signs composed with LAL, signs composed with LAL2 are to be treated assequences.
