Etymology[edit]

Orthographic borrowing from Sumerian 𒌨 (ur, dog).

Logogram[edit]

𒌨 (UR)

  1. Sumerogram of kalbum (dog)

Sumerian[edit]

Noun[edit]

𒌨 (ur)

  1. a beast of prey, dog, lion
  2. (personal names) mostly translated as "dog of" when followed by a divine name, but some have connected it to the pronoun 𒄯 (ur₅ /⁠ur⁠/, he of, the one of). When it follows a divine name in the phrase 𒌨𒈬 (ur-g̃u₁₀ /⁠tešg̃u⁠/, my pride, my dignity), scholars agree on the reading 𒌨 (teš₂ /⁠teš⁠/).
