The cuneiform sign 𒀀 (DIŠ, DIŠ OVER DIŠ) for a, and in the Epic of Gilgamesh the sumerogram A, Akkadian for mû, "water", which is used in the Gilgamesh flood myth, Chapter XI of the Epic, or other passages.

This is the first "sentence", nearly unchanged since the article was created in 2013. I would urge replacing it with a shorter sentence that has a main verb and is clearer about what this article is about, and why it's called A if its value is diš or mû. —Tamfang (talk) 03:17, 19 May 2023 (UTC)Reply
