Bram Jagersma

Leiden Sumerologist whose 2010 descriptive grammar is the fullest modern account of the language.

Bram Jagersma is dutch Sumerologist (Abraham Hendrik Jagersma), Leiden University, author of A Descriptive Grammar of Sumerian (2010), the reference for the reconstructed phonology and the verbal prefix system, and appears in the record of unread cuneiform: half a million tablets and the limits of Sumerian as leiden Sumerologist whose 2010 descriptive grammar is the fullest modern account of the language.

One question rest in part on what Jagersma did or said, among them “What about the Sumerian language itself is still unknown after 170 years of study?”, which stands open: no answer ahead yet.
