Ta_(cuneiform)
Ta (cuneiform)
Cuneiform sign
The cuneiform ta sign is a common, multi-use sign of the Epic of Gilgamesh, the 1350 BC Amarna letters, and other cuneiform texts. It also has a sumerogrammic usage for TA, for example in the Epic of Gilgamesh, for Akkadian language "ultu", English language for from, or since,[1] but in only (1) location in the 12 tablet Epic of Gilgamesh.[2] Sumerogram TA is used elsewhere in the Epic, (7) more times.
In the formation of words in text, ta can be a syllabic for "ta", or as a syllabic for t, or a. (It could also be used as a substitute for the other "t", "ṭ".)
