摘要：The sign N16 is scarcely attested in the archaic
texts, limited to only the Uruk III/JN period. Until
recently, only three attestations were available,1 all in
tablets coming from Uruk and in fragmentary contexts.
A few more tablets in which the sign occurs are now
available and in much better preserved condition, albeit
of uncertain provenance. The scope of the following
analysis is to deduce and assess the meaning of this
sign.
