Hi, Thank you for your blog, just signed up to ask you a question, I have always loved ancient languages and Sumerian is very pleasing to my Eye. I would like to commission a small work of art showing a goddess of Wisdom and above each of her hands, i would like to display the Sumerian Word Stronger above the left hand and Together above the right. I have already seen you have answered the stronger question, I will use the image A(2) in your post as like love the technical drawing aspect of it Anonymous asked: Is there a word for strong in Sumerian, with the meaning more figurative than literal? What about a word for warrior? There are several words for “strong” in Sumerian! But most of them are associated with physical strength. The most basic word for “strength” is a(2), an extremely versatile word meaning “arm, wing, strength, workforce, wages, moment.” Various terms, like angal “strong (one), power(ful), leader” and anunngal “strongest, most powerful”, are derived from it. But now for the word together, do you know of a version of that word that is also eye catching? The thought behind my art is bring together two people in a relationship. Thank you very much much appreciated . Adney

Hello! Here's the post you've quoted , in case anybody wants to take a look at words for "strength." There are a couple ways to say "together" in Sumerian. The most general is urbi 𒄯𒁉, but there's also the word tab 𒋰 which means "a pair, together." As a noun (to parallel "strength") I might use the derived namtab 𒉆𒋰 "partnership, togetherness." I hope one of these works for you!
