About this app

This app is a dictionary assisting in studying cuneiform words (Sumerian / Akkadian). It provides cuneiform signs and transliteration in Latin and Arabic. Every word has its meaning in Arabic, German and English. The words can be searched/ filtered by entering part of the name or meaning, whether in Arabic, English or German. The result will be displayed in the language selected for the app.
It also includes an assistant/ helper for cuneiform words/ Phrases (inserting the logograms to obtain cuneiform or vice versa).
To benefit most, we added a list of cuneiform sentences (about 200) that are analyzed and explained to facilitate understanding.

The application can be used as a dictionary or as an add-on to our cuneiform applications:
- Cuneiform writing tablet
- The Akkadian / Sumerian cuneiform script
- Learn cuneiform writing by playing
- The Syrian Ugaritic alphabet

Help on using the dictionary

• General remarks:
Words can be filtered by entering text either in the Sumerian (Latin) to get suggestions of the meaning in English as well as in the Cuneiform. Or enter a word in English and search for Sumerian and its Cuneiform. In writing Sumerian word in Latin we use the widely used character ĝ for ŋ (ng as in ring).
• Hints on Filter/Search words
Use basic Latin characters to filter according to Sumerian words (E.g. use g for ŋ, ĝ, g; s for s, š; h for h, ḫ). : نگ : غ؟

• Marking certain words:
The switch allows you to mark any words (e.g. favorites or to learn, etc.). With the help of the selection filter you could have a look at the marked words at any time. With the filters, the markings could be removed in one fell swoop.

• Details page (dictionary):
When selecting a word in the word list, the details are shown on this page. With the button (Search/ Filter - top right) you can return to the display of the word list with the Filtering-field. You could also scroll to the next / previous word (if any) by swiping.
