after I read the Legends of Gilgamesh from the translation of seven translators, I wondered what Akkadian looked like. Cunieform means wedge-shaped, but the rules governing their use are very arcane and complex.
In other words, I was sorry I inquired.

Actually it looks quite Arabic and somewhat Hebraic, IOW, quite complex.
