Hi, are there any derogatory names for a male prostitute in Akkadian or Sumerian? How would I write that in Cuneiform? Doing a bit of creative writing and found myself in need of these answers. I've seen a few words on the internet, but wasn't sure if each of them had very specific roles or contexts, like Kulu'u or Assinnu

Hello! The generic word I know for "prostitute" in Sumerian is basically gender-neutral: karkid 𒋼𒀀𒆤. It appears most often in literature referring to women, but sometimes is specified as a geme-karkid "female prostitute", which implies the term can be used for either/any gender. Presumably you could use a term like nita-karkid 𒍑𒋼𒀀𒆤 to specify that a prostitute is male, but I don't know of such an example in literature.

Instead, the term I've seen translated as "male prostitute" in the ETCSL is sangursang 𒊕𒌨𒊕, which is more often translated "eunuch", in the role of either a prostitute, powerful servant, or cultic performer. These roles overlapped for eunuchs in Sumerian society, and a given text is often unclear about which role is being referred to by this term.

The main euphemistic terms for "prostitute" vary: suhurla 𒋦𒇲 "(the one with) done-up hair" isn't specifically gendered, but tilla 𒊩𒀭𒀸𒀭"market-woman" is written with the "woman" sign 𒊩 to distinguish it from tilla 𒀭𒀸𒀭 "marketplace, crossroads, street".

As for derogatory terms, I don't know of any that would be specifically derogatory (for either gender). Prostitution was not seen in the same negative light in Sumerian society as in many modern societies, though I guess almost any term can be positive or negative depending on tone, context, and the like. I hope that's helpful!

I was tagged by Leo @lee-ow :3 to do this playlist shuffle game! Shuffle your favourite playlist and list the first 5 songs that come up.

(I used a playlist I made in 2021 named "I'm the main character of '21". I was in fact not the main character of 2021 but the songs are still good.)
