		The fourteenth chapter of Genesis has also received interesting confirmation of its historical basis in the facts: (1) That such raids as are there mentioned were made many centuries before Abram's day, and (2) that names discovered on the monuments, if not identical with those of this chapter, contain some of their elements.

	ETCSL:ETCSLcuneiform
		Cuneiform, thus, gradually developed into a combined system, where the same set of signs could be used to represent logograms and phonograms or syllabograms.
		Thousand years on from the earliest attestations of cuneiform writing, when some of the texts of the ETCSL were written down, the so-called interpersonal metafunction of language was present in the writing system in the form of a more fixed word order, grammatical (bound) morphemes indicating subject, object, modality, aspect, etc., and function words, e.g.
		In our context, transliteration means representing cuneiform signs in the Roman alphabet, with the addition of a few non-Roman letters (š, ĝ/g̃ and ḫ), using hyphens and spaces to indicate sign boundaries (more about this in the document on hyphenation practices).

		Cuneiform flourished from 3200 B.C. to perhaps as recently as A.D. A written language that combines about 600 common signs representing ideas with rebus-style depictions of sounds, cuneiform recorded the tax receipts, religion, science, medicine and legends of the ancient world.
		Many of the records were baked and preserved in fires that accompanied the end of each empire (there were at least five) that used cuneiform.
		Training records of the scribes, often taught from childhood in homes, also turn up in the tablet record, and these word lists are the reason scholars know enough cuneiform to attempt their current projects.

	THE VELIKOVSKY AFFAIR: CHAPTER 4: CUNEIFORM ASTRONOMICAL RECORDS AND CELESTIAL INSTABILITY
		Most of his life was dedicated to the interpretation of cuneiform texts dealing with astronomy and with the related topics of chronology and mythology; the main characteristic of his method was a mathematical rigour for which he is considered still unsurpassed today.
		The argument of Weidner was that cuneiform documents refer to the left and right 'horn' of Venus, using a Sumerian symbol which is used to refer to the shape of the waxing or waning moon.
		But, on his side, Kugler was right in pointing out that in the early cuneiform records there occur figures which seem to be gross errors, and that after the beginning of the era of Nabonassar Babylonian astronomers were conducting investigations aimed at ascertaining basic data without which any scientific study of the heavens is impossible.

	Ancient Scripts: Cuneiform
		The term "cuneiform" is very deceptive, in that it tricks people into thinking that it's some type of writing system.
		However, these cuneiform records are really descendents of another counting system that had been used for five thousand years before.
		In fact, one of the earliest examples of complex tokens was found in the temple of Inanna, the Sumerian goddess of love and fertility, in the city of Uruk.

		The Mesopotamian records are found in cuneiform writing on clay tablets that have been recovered from the ruins of Nineveh, Babylon, and other cities in the Near East.
		This is a laudable aim, and undoubtedly, by translating the records, the authors are opening up a field that has previously been accessible in the west to only a handful of people.
		Unfortunately, selective quotation by the authors, and their failure to provide any information about the various sources from which the records are taken, prevent this.

	Cuneiform Inscriptions
		The accounting system the people of ancient Iraq developed comprised both a method of recording language in writing, and a method of authenticating and authorizing records and transactions, through sealing them with personal or official seals.
		Transactions often required authorization, which was accomplished by impressing the seal of the person or institution responsible for the transaction onto the clay record of it.
		A sealed storeroom, container, or record was thus protected against entry, tampering, or alteration without the oversight of the individual in possession of the same seal.
