@KIeio, I don't even know whom to ping for Sumerian, but could you perhaps add a better ref? Is Sumerian pronunciation reconstructed? —Μετάknowledgediscuss/deeds 00:26, 15 November 2017 (UTC)Reply

Not sure if anyone active here is into Sumerian, to be honest. Anyway, I added another secondary source, a pretty reliable one I think. Can't really say much about pronunciation (I only the know the vaguest smattering of Sumerian, mostly through the Sumerograms used in Hittite and Akkadian..) except that it seems to be pretty damn difficult to reconstruct and there doesn't appear to be much certainty among scholars. — Kleio (t · c) 01:07, 15 November 2017 (UTC)Reply
@Metaknowledge by the way. Also wanted to point out that the source I added doesn't elaborate on all the descendants, it just confirms a couple of them (Akkadian, Hebrew, Ugaritic). The other descendants also certainly ultimately derive from this Sumerian term though. — Kleio (t · c) 01:14, 15 November 2017 (UTC)Reply
Thanks! Then it looks like we can waive a pron. @Jberkel, we'll be good to go with an image. —Μετάknowledgediscuss/deeds 02:10, 15 November 2017 (UTC)Reply

IPA for 𒂍𒃲

[edit]

If it is a FWOTD can somebody add at least a hypothetical IPA reconstruction (with an asterisk). 178.236.129.219 23:55, 24 November 2017 (UTC)Reply

See above. I would like a reconstruction iff it can be sourced, but it's appropriate to waive the requirement in this case. —Μετάknowledgediscuss/deeds 03:34, 25 November 2017 (UTC)Reply
