Sumerian

[edit]

Noun

[edit]

𒌨 (ur)

  1. a beast of prey, dog, lion
  2. (personal names) mostly translated as "dog of" when followed by a divine name, but some have connected it to the pronoun 𒄯 (ur₅ /⁠ur⁠/, he of, the one of). When it follows a divine name in the phrase 𒌨𒈬 (ur-g̃u₁₀ /⁠tešg̃u⁠/, my pride, my dignity), scholars agree on the reading 𒌨 (teš₂ /⁠teš⁠/).
