Practical dictionary of Cuneiform Sumerian

"A scribe who does not know Sumerian-what kind of scribe is he?" (Sumerian proverb)

From the author of "Learn the Sumerian Language: A Complete Manual for Beginners" comes a Sumerian-Spanish dictionary, in which every entry includes its transliteration and corresponding cuneiform signs. It is designed for bidirectional use -Sumerian-to-English and English-to-Sumerian- and features an extensive appendix with entries grouped by theme.

What it includes:

• Over 3,800 entries, covering both literary and everyday vocabulary, extending beyond the administrative language typically found on clay tablets.
• Two sections: Sumerian-English and English-Sumerian.
• Cuneiform signs and transliteration for every entry.
• Grammatical category for each word.
• A complete thematic appendix with entries organized into 18 categories (animals, religion, the human body, law, warfare, and more).
• An introduction providing the essentials for reading the entries: pronunciation, transliteration, subscripts, determinatives, compound verbs, and grammatical endings.
• Lexical data from the ePSD2 (Oracc, University of Pennsylvania), adapted and selected

Designed for enthusiasts of Mesopotamian history, fans of ancient languages, and beginner-to-intermediate students of Sumerian looking for a practical and complete reference tool.
