About Sumerian Proverb of the Day

Sumerian Proverb of the Day / Sumerian Cuneiform Writing


"Sumerian Proverb of the Day"

Based on the ETCSL collection: Black, J.A., Cunningham, G., Ebeling, J., Flückiger-Hawker, E., Robson, E., Taylor, J., and Zólyomi, G., The Electronic Text Corpus of Sumerian Literature ( http://etcsl.orinst.ox.ac.uk/ ), Oxford 1998-2006.

"Sumerian Cuneiform writing"

Based on unicode "UR-III" fonts -- with direct link to ePSD.

For a "transliteration" line it produces the (UR-III) cuneiform version with links to ePSD

For transliteration you can use
- 'j' for 'ĝ' and 'c' for 'š',
- '/' or '?' before and after determinatives (e.g., /d/en-lil2 or unug/ki/),
- '-' or ',' for word parts,
- '.' for compound cuneiform,
- '(' and ')' to specify used cuneiform,

e.g., /d/ba-u2 nin(SAL.KUG) iri-kug-ga
or ?d?ba,u2 nin(SAL.KUG) iri,kug,ga

IT WORKS ONLY ON STRONG DEVICES (large memory and fast cpu), BECAUSE CUNEIFORM FONTS ARE EXTREMELY HUGE.

The text is so small, I cannot make it out. I've found no way of enlarging it. If I could enlarge it from about 4pt to even 8 pt...

F70%

When i search a word and the symbol appears to show how it is written in cuniform....English translation of the Sumerian word would be nice so I know how to pronounce it

This is an app that needs to be downloaded in every Iraqi phone. Thanks go to those who worked on it, and for those who were sources to develop it.

by Z####:

This is quite excellent, does everything it says; I can't start my day without it! They do say that those who can't read Sumerian are uneducated - this app helps along the way.

D70%
by D####:

All signs are glossed and linked to the epsd and translations are given from the etcsl. You couldn't ask for much more!

O70%
by O####:

"Only on strong devices" is somewhat dated - my old Xperia Ion has no problems running it. What I miss is a "share" button - to tweet (etc.) the results, I have to make s screenshot (awkward on most devices), open the image in a file browser and share from there.
