bofh: I mean, if they can programmatically distinguish Hittite syllabary from Akkadograms and Sumerograms, they will make many Assyriologists happy, but I'm unsure what this has to do with this programming language
<bofh>
I mean I'm pretty sure that's an AI-complete problem.
<egg|z|egg>
bofh: no it's very easy you see, you merely need 12 jugs, 7 breads, 3 cheeses, raisins, coriander, fat, intestine, salt, wax, flour, natron, 4 sheep, puppy, piglet, fish, lizard, pickaxe, shovel, table, bed, stool, curtain, spear, 2 pestles, statuettes and variously coloured wool to jiggle over the program text

" It's not Hungarian notation if it is natively present in the language "
<egg|z|egg>
"In many scripts these special conjuncts are likely to only occur internally within words, but in others (such as Javanese and Balinese) they may actually span word boundaries."
<egg|z|egg>
bofh: Akkadograms are weird
<bofh>
egg|z|egg: Hittite is a fucking *mess*.
<bofh>
like it is actually the *WORST* writing system this side of Tangut in existence.
<egg|z|egg>
well I mean sumerograms are weird, too
<UmbralRaptor>
bofh: wait, what?
<egg|z|egg>
this is kind of worse than Man'yōgana + ideographs, in that *both are syllabaries*
<bofh>
UmbralRaptor: ?
<egg|z|egg>
(same scripts in both cases, but both being syllabaries but one being used logographically makes it intensely silly)
<UmbralRaptor>
bofh: I'm just curious as to how Hittite is bad.
<bofh>
oh gods. SO.
* egg|z|egg
considers inserting random Latin verba in English loquela, to be read as the English words
<bofh>
putting Akkadograms aside, here's an example.
<bofh>
Actually the one on wiki is good:
<bofh>
"Thus, the sign GI 𒄀 can be used (and transcribed) in three ways, as the Hittite syllable gi (also ge); in the Akkadian spelling QÈ-RU-UB of the preposition "near" as QÈ, and as the Sumerian ideogram GI for "tube" also in superscript, GI, when used as a determiner"
<bofh>
(I have a better one, but I can't recall where I wrote it down. Basically, fucking ambiguities *everywhere*)
<bofh>
(Also the cuneiform syllabary was extremely not designed for an IE language's syllable structure & the Hittites just kind of shoehorned around it, but that's a minor detail).
<bofh>
"Hittite Kurunta is usually written as 𒀭𒆗 dLAMMA, where LAMMA is the Sumerogram for "stag", the Luwian deity Kurunta being associated with this animal here's another fun one
<egg|z|egg>
bofh: I mean it *is* the Akkadograms and Sumerograms that make the bulk of the silliness from what I can see
<bofh>
egg|z|egg: this is true, but frustratingly they're *common*
<egg|z|egg>
:D
<egg|z|egg>
yeah Akkadian doesn't seem to be that Sumerogram-heavy (and obviously it only has one kind of logogram so there's that)
<egg|z|egg>
bofh: "Illuyankaš, as I mentioned above, is a compound of two words for “snake” or “serpent”. This, plus the determinative for snakes that comes before his name, means his name can basically be read as “the snake Snakey-Snake”."

<UmbralRaptor>
Well, actual ones, and not toy models.
<bofh>
don't most models actually assume (erroneously?) that it'll actually be constant?
<UmbralRaptor>
Several of the toy ones I saw in cosmology class did, though there are fancier numerical tools lying around so you can do things correctly with actual data.
