Pretty sure some of these lexical lists originated in Uruk IV and II (in proto-cuneiform which is not known to encode Sumerian) with more (like god lists) coming out in the ED and then more in the 2nd millennium. Seems that the article needs to be recast to reflect that. I think I understand the Uruk part of this more or less but after that is out of my area so maybe someday someone more qualified will fix this up. I suggest "Ross, Jennifer C.. "Lost: The Missing Lexical Lists of the Archaic Period". Strings and Threads: A Celebration of the Work of Anne Draffkorn Kilmer, edited by Wolfgang Heimpel and Gabriella Szabo, University Park, USA: Penn State University Press, 2011, pp. 231-242" and "Wagensonner, Klaus. "Early Lexical Lists Revisited." Structures and Classification as a Mnemonic Device: RAI 53.1 pp, 285-310 2010" for background.
One could add "Lecompte, Camille and Naccaro, Hugo. "The Colophons of the Archaic Lists and their Social Setting" Zeitschrift für Assyriologie und vorderasiatische Archäologie, vol. 115, no. 1, 2025, pp. 1-35" to this.Ploversegg (talk) 03:23, 26 August 2025 (UTC)Reply
