Did you know that Mastodon has a bot that posts one Sumerian cuneiform with its meaning every day?
No? You can find it at @sumerian
Did you know every now and then I make a note of them, thinking I might be able to use them for something?
No? Well you do now.
Below I give you three cuneiform with a helpful* illustration to help you remember them.
