+===== New or Contested Old Sumerian Sign Readings =====
+The alternate readings here come from G. Marchesi and N. Marchetti’s //Royal Statuary of Early Dynastic Mesopotamia// (2011). Marchesi and Marchetti also note that “the so-called ‘amissable’ final consonants in Sumerian (that is, /d/, /g/, /k/, /ř/, held to be mute in word-final position), which include the phoneme /k/ of the genitive, were in fact pronounced in the Early Dynastic period (cf. Bauer 1989-90: 77. The loss of these consonants probably occurred in the Neo-Sumerian period.)” (2011: 238).
+LAK numbers refer to the numbers provided in A. Deimel's //Liste der archaischen Keilschriftzeichen// (= //WVDOG// 40 [1922]).
