Run · Proto-cuneiform: the archaic texts of Uruk

Order consistency of repeated archaic names

Within-name position test against a shuffle: Share of recurring multi-sign names (same sign set, two or more attestations) transliterated in more than one order.

Result

Run	Measured	Result	Against	Decision	Date
Run	Share of recurring multi-sign names (same sign set, two or more attestations) transliterated in more than one order	{'share': 0.379, 'EN_recurring': 10, 'recurring_names': 58, 'EN_recurring_mixed': 5, 'written_in_2plus_orders': 22, 'EN_first_in_recurring_attestations': '18 of 27'}		Repeated names are not written in a fixed order, and half the repeated EN names occur in both orders. The EN-first tendency is not a name template, so session 2's speculative EN-first evidence is withdrawn as support. Image collation is not needed to reach this conclusion.

What it used and found

Within-name position test against a shuffle

Method

MTH

Archaic personal names in proto-cuneiform (editor-marked, CDLI)

Dataset

DAT

The names favour Sumerian name elements

Answer it tests

ANS

The same name is often transliterated in different sign orders, so the EN-first pattern is not a name template

Evidence it produced
