You can write king, warrior and lady in sumerian

[GiskAkina]

ZagrosMediaAryan--I do know that sumerian is a language isolate. Sorry, I disagree with you that Kurd came from sumerian. "A language isolate, in the absolute sense, is a natural language with no demonstrable genealogical (or "genetic") relationship with other languages today."

That's merely a crude drawing of the wedge of the stylus when impressed upon the clay. I'll need to redo some of these videos so they don't look exactly like triangles. I think there is a better way to represent the cuneiform scripts.

[ljmarAtHome]

why so many triangles? What does it mean?

[ZagrosMedianAryan]

This is Kurdish language!!! Lo Kal/Gal, Ur=Fire or warrior, and Xa- Nin/Nim =Lady! Also the name of Kurd is too sumerian lang. Kur= Mountain!! we kurds are aryan race from zagros to sumerian,hitit...!!! In any dictionary, if you is not something to do with the Kurdish dictionary, then this is not scientific!!

@ZagrosMedianAryan Sumerian, akkadian words have adopted by all iraqi cultures. So when kurds came from the east to iraq they adopted these words from the akkadian empire who was in north of iraq before the kurds. The most known iraqi qord is Shako Mako and thats sumerian too :)

Hi great job I salute your dedication to learn Sumerian , I like Sumerian culture and I will love to learn how to write it., will you help me with a more complex phrase? I thinking to get a tattoo but i would like a meaningful phrase thanks

[GiskAkina]

Thanks for your comment. I'm aware the video is not very clear,  Akkadian and Sumerian has taken a backseat to RL until I buy a new camera. I appreciate the feedback.

Lugal-me-e§ denoting ''kings," lugal-e-ne, ''the kings"; lugal-me-en

"thou ( = en) art ( = me) king ( = lugal)/'; lugal-am-e§ "they are kings";

The root of the Sumerian word for "dream," e, g., is mamud, but if this word is used alone or forms a grammatical complex by itself, it becomes mamu, /. e., it drops the d, because this consonant stands at the end of the word; "my dream" is mamu-mu, likewise with dropping of the d, because the following grammatical...

[Psychonaut69]

The expression "to the mighty king" must be in Sumerian, lugal-kalga-Su, literally

''king — ^mighty — towards."

Me-es is compounded of the element m(e) "to be" and e§ "many;" lugal-me-e§, literally "king — being — many," therefore denotes the indefinite plural "kings." The element -ene, on the other hand, is the plural of the demon- strative element e "this" (originally probably "this one" = "he"); lugal-ene,literally "king — these," therefore, is the definite plural ''the kings."

[Psychonaut69]

The sequence of modifying elements which include a possessive genitive must be, governing substantive — descriptive adjective — possessive genitive — postposition; e. g. e-mah-lugalla-§u "to the sublime house of the king," literally "house — ^sublime — of the king — to."

the constant wiiting nin-a-ni, "his lady," never nin-na-ni, while "his great house" is always ^-gal-la-ni, and not e-gal-a-ni.

[Psychonaut69]

Sumerian is an agglutinative language; its most characteristic feature, therefore, is that it strings together, by simple juxtaposition, a number of words intended by the speaker to E-mah-mu-§u, is a complex governed by a substantive. The first word, the substantive e "house," represents the chief idea; this is modified: first, by the adjective mah) "sublime," then, by the pronoun mu "my," and lastly, by the postposition §u "towards," conveying the idea "to my sub "to my sublime house."

[zweerver]

@Psychonaut69 there are different opinions on what we mean by agglutination in sumerian though, since it's supposed to be an split ergative language, sometimes nominative-accusative, sometimes ergative-absolutive.

[GiskAkina]

Yes, I know the quality is mediocre. I'm using an older version of the iFlip camera and a Gorilla pad to situate it just so on a few pots and pans in the house. It is literally a home production. :) I've been waiting to get a better quality HDi Flip or camera to continue filming. Thanks for the input.

[LucMtl1]

Very interesting, but too bad the camera is considerably out of focus.

[GiskAkina]

This might be of interest to you--If you write two king characters side by side together, it means "king of kings" according to sumerian grammar books.

Not off top at all. I am not at all fluent in sumerian. I don't think anyone "is?" And that's because different scholars have different opinions on the meaning of symbols--what I'm using is based on a general consensus and a workbook I'm using. Thanks for being interested! It's an ongoing study.

[natedawg4lyfe]

this is very off topic, but you seem fluent in the sumerian language.how,or is it possible.to translate an english sentence to sumerian?

[GiskAkina]

Thanks you guys! :)

[westwatford]

[Rykhart]
