2008 Chapter 2 It is handy to have some kind of system for arranging or
classifying cuneiform characters. King [op.
cit., p. 71] explains a simple system: “In the first part of the list are given the signs which begin
with horizontal wedges; first those beginning with one horizontal wedge ! (Nº 1
-- 78), and those beginning with two wedges p (Nº 79 -- 164), then those beginning with three
wedges h (Nº 165 --
180), and lastly those beginning with four (or more) wedges (Nº 181 --
188). In the central part of the list
are given the signs which begin with diagonal wedges; first those beginning
with one diagonal wedge 1 (Nº 189 -- 199), then those
beginning with two wedges 2 (Nº 200 -- 205), then those
beginning with three wedges 3 (Nº 206 -- 215), and lastly those
beginning with the large diagonal wedge u (Nº 216 --
254). In the concluding portion of the
list are given the signs the beginnings of which contained upright wedges;
first those beginning with a single upright wedge / (Nº 255 --
272), then those beginning with !
[minus the three small wedges on the right] (Nº 273 -- 277), then those
beginning with : (Nº 278 -- 287) and lastly
those beginning with two or more upright wedges (Nº 288 -- 300).” This system should make it about ten times easier to find
any character, because it divides or classifies all characters into about ten
parts, when you include counting strokes. Between the years 1875 and 1900, the field of Assyriology
was simplified and standardized and stabilized. Scholars followed the
arrangement and numbering of the characters by Delitzsch.
The cost of this simplification was great. Alternate forms were discarded.
Alternate sounds were discarded. Alternate meanings were discarded. More than
half of all known characters were discarded. A great deal of knowledge and
understanding was lost. Here below I present a table constituting a dictionary of
the language of Adam, using for now only one writing system, cuneiform. I
have gathered back up the original meanings and added many of my own which
you will see are necessary for the completeness and consistency of the
language. I have color coded the information according to its source, which
you may verify for yourself in most cases. Later we will add Hieroglyphic and
Hieratic, and we will add Chinese in order to restore the correct tones to
each character, sound, and meaning. Since the characters cannot be looked up by the computer,
they are numbered and arranged according to the logic mentioned above by King
for easy access; the computer can be used for searches by meaning or sound. Chart sources: 1.

Schumerische Grammatik, von P. Anton Deimel, S.I.,
2nd. Aufl., Verlag des Päpstl. Bibelinstituts, Rome, 1939. The sources were consulted in
the order listed, so that, generally, the earlier sources were more helpful
than the later ones. With the exception of Deimel’s
work, almost all the sources merely copied their predecessors. Of the written
sources, only Sayce was quite original; all others
followed the path of Delitzsch. Between 1875 and 1900, a
different transliteration system was devised, which incorporated diacritical
marks and substituted the letter Q for C and in some instances K. Since this
modern diacritical system has to be learned independently in and of itself, which begs the question of why it should have had
to be devised in the first place, I have used the system of the older
scholars, which produces sensible words like Cumorah and Amlici
instead of the unpronounceable Qumorah and Amliqi and so on. In the language of Adam, there
are five vowels, which are the same as those in English, but they are
pronounced the way the Europeans do: A =
“ah” E =
“eh” I =
“ee” O =
“oh” U = “oo” Scandinavian preserves the
ancient vowel shift: AA=O. English preserves the other
ancient vowel shifts: EE = I [“ee”], OO = U [“oo”]. Nº Character Sounds Meanings 1 !
