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 𜓵 𜎯 𜎰
𜓅 𜐚 𜐕 𜐔 𜐖 𜐙 𜐘 𜒤

𜏡 𜏣 hal
𜏰 𜏁 𜏯 𜏒 𜏱 𜏲
𜓚 𜎶 𜎷

Identified variants of 𜏯 𜏱 𜏁 indicate that dots were (sometimes?) used as old gunu.
