Sumerian Addenda

The numbered courses teach in sequence — each chapter assumes the ones before it. The addenda work the other way: they are the school’s shelf of materials that serve every course and belong to none, consulted whenever you need them, in any order, at any point in your study.

On the shelf

1. The writing primer — the scribe's hand: the three wedges, the order they were pressed in, what the clay itself proves and what is honest reconstruction
2. Terms — the working glossary — every technical term the courses use, one plain sentence each; the same definitions behind the hover bubbles site-wide
3. Signs — one page for every sign — each taught sign's permanent home: its keyword, where the shape comes from, a way to remember it, its lookalikes, and one real line it lives in
4. Drills — every sign, three ways — the whole inventory as retrieval cards, dealt in a fresh order each day (or cut the deck yourself) and printable as cut-out Leitner slips
5. Easily confused — side by side — the lookalike signs drilled deliberately together: tell them apart before they blur
6. Study decks — real spaced repetition — downloadable Anki decks, one card per sign, and the three steps to FSRS scheduling
7. Almost yours — the frontier — real corpus lines one sign beyond your inventory, ▢ by design: the edge of your reading, made visible

The shelf will grow — extended materials that outgrow a course chapter land here. For the courses themselves, go back to the school catalog.
