I have had occasion to look real close at 𒀭𒄑𒉋𒂵𒎌, and I get why 𒀭[DIĜIR] is there, and 𒉋𒂵𒎌 [BIL₂.GA.MEŠ] are clearly phonetic components---but what the hell is 𒄑 [GIŠ] doing there? it's not pronounced (evidently), but as a determiner it doesn't seem to make much sense to me (used for wooden objects and trees), and 𒄑𒉋𒂵 [(GIŠ) BIL₂.GA] as "male ancestor" with a determiner for wooden objects/trees *haunts* me, but I can't find a source for that. What's going on with 𒄑 in this name?

You know, I can't find a good source on why 𒄑 appears in this name, as I don't think scholars agree on why it's there. The most common theory seems to be that the bilga element may derive from pabilga 𒉺𒉋𒂵 "paternal grandfather, paternal uncle". Halloran lists bilga as being "a plant-breeder's terminology for a human ancestor", as pa 𒉺 has "branch" as its most basic meaning, like the branch of a family tree. Somewhere along the line, the 𒉺 sign of (pa)bilga got reinterpreted as the similar-looking 𒄑 (and related meaning, branch > tree), and thus got stuck in the name of Bilgamesh and presumably others derived from the same root.

However, not all sources agree on pabilga as being a proven etymology for bilga at all, so take all this with a grain of salt. And check out this prior post on the meaning of Gilgamesh's name.

What the fuck is with rock-paper-scissors in anime? Like in Mob Psycho 100, how did they even doing it with like 50 people all at once? Are there weird rules for group rock-paper-scissors? All I could find when I looked up group rock-paper-scissors was everyone pairing up, but that doesn't seem to be what's happening in anime...

lu nu du

Hi! I'm not sure what this is supposed to mean - du can mean any of a number of things, especially without sign numbers. Is this "the person doesn't go?" Or maybe a phrase - "a person not going" or (with du7) "an unsuitable/imperfect person"? If this is my first Sumerian anon hate I want to make sure I understand it right!
