    I think it’s fascinating as a written language - zooming in you can see so many . . not sure what the technical term is for them, but additional lines in a word that must indicate something - like making an entire written symbolic language out of the letter “D”.

      Yea! I’ve skimmed through a cuneiform dictionary and saw so many words that made me wonder how anyone could possibly sight-read it without accidentally mistaking things haha.

        And now I wonder if it was sight read? Considering how sensitive our fingertips are, maybe reading it like braille would’ve made sense…
