Talk:List of cities of the ancient Near East

Possible new site articles
I decided a place was needed to remind me of places that might need articles at some point. Might as well be here.Ploversegg (talk) 15:33, 24 December 2021 (UTC)

Tell Khoshi stuff removed - ok I'm probably breaking some sort of Wiki-Law doing that but they can come yell at me.Ploversegg (talk) 04:10, 23 February 2022 (UTC)
 * These coords seem to be way off. With a site this large, it should be possible to get correct ones, I would say. Zoeperkoe (talk) 06:42, 22 February 2022 (UTC)

meaning of KI 𒆠
The following passage; "The KI 𒆠 determinative was the Sumerian term for a city or city state." claims that KI 𒆠 means city or city state in Sumerian but the source referenced has it defined as "place; ground, earth, land; toward; underworld; land, country; lower, down below".

Granted, I'm not familiar with Sumerian so could anyone correct me if I'm wrong? Duchy2 (talk) 23:29, 24 November 2022 (UTC)
