Sumerian Addenda

Almost yours — the frontier

Everywhere else on this site, a reading is either fully yours or boxed sign by sign. This page is different by design: real corpus lines your 77 signs cover all but one of — the ▢ here marks not a gap in your learning but the exact edge of it. Read what you can (nearly everything), and let each box tell you what the next course owes you.

Each of these needed only your existing kit and one stranger. That is what a frequency-ordered inventory buys: the corpus opens from the middle out. When the next course adds its first batches, come back — these lines will have quietly become fully yours. The instrument that finds them (any line ≥90% covered) will keep this page honest as the inventory grows.
