@writersroom.boardwalkThe sky, the earth, water, a king, a person, each of these has its own cuneiform symbol, and seeing them laid out makes you realize how much meaning was packed into those wedge shapes. 𒀭 covers sky, heaven, or the divine; 𒆠 is earth or place; 𒀀 is water; 𒈗 is king; 𒇽 is man or person; 𒊩 is woman or female; 𒌉 is child or small; 𒂍 is house or household; 𒆳 is mountain or foreign land; 𒌓 is day or sun; 𒀯 is star; 𒅆 is eye or face; 𒋗 is hand; 𒄑 is tree or wood; 𒂠 is head or chief; 𒃲 is great or big; 𒅘 is know; 𒍣 is life or living; 𒁲 is judgment or legal decision; and 𒌋 is ten. Twenty signs total, each one a tiny window into how they saw the world.
