# Archaic Ur (Early Dynastic I–II) tablets in sign-name transliteration (CDLI export)

394 Early Dynastic I–II tablets, mostly the Archaic Ur texts, that CDLI transliterates in the proto-cuneiform convention (language code qpc, sign names such as EN~a and SZE~a). Because they use the same conventions as the Uruk corpus, they are the nearest later corpus for direct comparison, and the one in which the first syllabic spellings of names appear.
