GUNU - pannous/hieros GitHub Wiki
gunû is an ubiquitous ligature sign modification adding four vertical or horizontal strokes:
𒍦 ⋍ 𒀾 ⋍ 𒑓 ⋍ 𒆦 ⋍ 𒍩 ⋍ gunû ⇔ 𒋗 šu 𒑕 𒑑 𒀼 𒈛 𒉣 ⇔ šešig tenu nutillu 𒈠
𒉣 nuĝ ≈ ĝun in gunu 𒁇𒉣 paragon = diagonal
e.g. 𒅆 => 𒅊
𒎙 'gunu' / 𒊺 ŠE-'gunu' => šešig 𒌨 => 𒌪
gunu especially in its form of 𒎙 𒊺 𒐑 may be related to 𒉆 NAM, phonetically as ablaut marker? 𒄊𒀴 šakan₆ حَاكِم ˢḥākim "governor" => 𒉆𒄊𒀴 NAM šakan₆ ≈ حُكْمِة ˢhukmah "governorship"
In Proto-Cuneiform and in Elamite gunu was often realized as a mesh similar to
𒆜 kaskal
in
