Etymology
Orthographic borrowing from Sumerian 𒌨 (ur, “dog”).
Logogram
𒌨 • (UR)
- Sumerogram of kalbum (“dog”)
Sumerian
Noun
𒌨 • (ur)
- a beast of prey, dog, lion
- (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/).
- 𒌨𒂠 (ur-gir₁₅ /urgir/)
- 𒌨𒈤 (ur-maḫ /urmaḫ/)
