Akkadian Addenda

Signs — one page for every sign in Akkadian

Every sign Cuneiform 103 uses has one page here: its Akkadian home. New signs get their full story — where the shape comes from, per the scholarship, and a memory hook we invented and say so. Veterans — signs taught back in the Sumerian courses that gained an Akkadian value — get a page for their new life, with a pointer back to their Sumerian page; the keyword never changes on the way over. Frequencies here are Akkadian frequencies, counted over the Old Babylonian corpus — a separate base, never mixed with the Sumerian ranks.

Each sign’s page gives its Akkadian values in display form (ṣi, ṭu₂, šum) and the story behind them.
