No it isn't -- not by the consensus of reputable linguistic scholarship... AnonMoos (talk) 02:05, 27 February 2011 (UTC)

No "theme" in this article

{{off-topic}}? {{confusing}}? The article is about an alphabet letter, then goes to some words that start with this letter, then goes to the word temen and eventually one finds a list of protohistorical temples: there's no "theme". I was putting off-topic but I noted that the template is for sections. So... what to do? Thanks! --Pequod76 (talk-ita.esp.eng) 23:44, 1 April 2011 (UTC)

It's not about an "alphabet letter" (Sumerian was not written with an alphabet), it's about a Sumerian word and the cuneiform sign which was used to write it. It might be a little confusing that as a separate word (as opposed to in names of specific temples), the compound É-GAL "palace, temple" is of more general interest than É alone... AnonMoos (talk) 02:26, 2 April 2011 (UTC)

Yes, you're right! I was talking about an alphabet just to let me understand. Bad idea! :) Maybe you can smooth the switch to the paragraph about É-GAL, explaining that is a kind of sample use. Besides, someone "translated" to itW that É corresponds to É-anna, but is this one rather that "House of Heaven" in Uruk? Bye. --Pequod76 (talk-ita.esp.eng) 11:32, 2 April 2011 (UTC)
