Among my OCS i have three different ones called some variation of "Nur / Noor" : Nepali Nur ("jewel"), Arabic Noor ("light"), and Akkadian Nur (meaning unknown, it was a famous scribe's rather unique name). I guess i really, really like how it sounds lol.

Basics of Akkadian & Japanese
- both mix logograms (word signs) & phonetic signs
- both write syllables, not invidual sounds
-…but neither is purely syllabic, often you need two signs for one syllable
- both have signs which can be read in more than one way, depending on context

The Akkadian princess Enheduana wasnt only the first poet in history, but the first to sign her name on her works. While her most known poems are of Goddess Inana, she called for female strength and discussed theological topics still argued to this day.
