<p class="MsoNormal">hello everyone and sorry for the cross posting. We have a student that wants to take elementary Sumerian and I have no clue how we are going to help him. One of the class requirements is that the student learn to read and write Cuneiform
signs and i have never heard of how that can be done accessible lucy <o:p></o:p></p>
