You can write king, warrior and lady in sumerian

Learn the cuneiform script signs for king (lugal), warrior (ur) and lady (nin). Rewind as many times as you want. Take each script one day at a time and learn the order of the strokes. Lugal is a sign frequently found on tablets and it usually precedes each king mentioned, eg: Lugal Shulgi for a King of Sumeria 2029 BC1982 BC

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.

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.

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.

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.

@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 :)

[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!!

@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.
