From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Amarna letters form of ki

Cuneiform KI (Borger 2003 nr. 737; U+121A0 ๐’† ) is the sign for "earth". It is also read as GI5, GUNNI (=KI.NE) "hearth", KARAล  (=KI.KAL.BAD) "encampment, army", KISLAแธช (=KI.UD) "threshing floor", and SUR7 (=KI.GAG). In Akkadian orthography, it functions as a determiner for toponyms and has the syllabic values gi, ge, qi, and qe. Besides its phonetic value it also serves as determiner or "Sumerogram" marking placenames.

As a determiner, KI corresponds to Akkadian itti,[1]

Cuneiform ki is used for syllabic "ki", and also for alphabetic "k", and alphabetic i. It has additional consonant usage for "q", instead of "k", and also "e", "รฉ", and "รญ" for vowel "i". Its usage numbers from the Epic of Gilgamesh are as follows:[2] ke-(9), ki-(291), qรฉ-(18), qรญ-(62), and KI-(288).

Cities of the ancient Near East

[edit]

The KI ๐’†  determinative was the Sumerian term for a city or city state.[3] In Akkadian and Hittite orthography, URU๐’Œท became a determinative sign denoting a city, or combined with KUR๐’†ณ "land" the kingdom or territory controlled by a city, e.g. ๐’„ก๐’†ณ๐’Œท๐’„ฉ๐’€œ๐’Œ…๐’Šญ LUGAL KUR URUHa-at-ti "the king of the country of (the city of) Hatti".
