Talk:U (cuneiform)

Starting Talk

Searching Wikipedia articles for use of "u"
(by author of article)...Interestingly there are plenty of links to articles using "u". However many show the common conjunction: conjunction: ù And in these cases the ù is found between two adjacent words.

What is also found in the search are words/ PN (personal names),... a cuneiforn sign... "mu", for example followed by "u". Possibly most of these cases are meant to be:... alphabetic ú So... in the searches many cases of Ù (conjunction), and the ú (common alphabetic u, and not always ending words), are located. After 100 articles, I found no obvious articles that could be confirmed to use u, either for 10, or the conjunction (and, but, else, etc.)

The common u, used as conjunction, is found in many of the Amarna letters (or use as 10). Buccellati's (1979) graphemic analysis for no. 411, u gives it an appearance, use of 117 times (in Amarna letters), and since it is used in one letter, sometimes more than 1-time, of the some 250-300 possible letters (of the 382), that brings the usage in the letters to some number less than the 117 Amarna letters. Note, Amarna letter EA 365, (reverse), {Ayyab's letter of corvee harvesting, and the cities mentioned), uses the "u" twice on the reverse side.
