EN (Borger 2003 nr. 164 ; U+12097 (unicode:𒂗), see also ENSI) is the Sumerian cuneiform for "lord" or "priest". Originally, it seems to have been used to designate a high priest or priestess of a Sumerian city-state's patron-deity〔Saggs, H. W. F. 1988, The Greatness That Was Babylon (revised edition)〕 - a position that entailed political power as well. It may also have been the original title of the ruler of Uruk. See ''Lugal, ensi and en'' for more details. deities: *DEN.LÍL *DEN.KI *DEN.GURUN *DEN.ZU * En-hedu-ana, Akkadian 2285 BC - 2250 BC was the first known holder of the title, "En Priestess." See also: NIN "lady", LUGAL "king", bêlu. ==Amarna letters: bêlu== The 1350 BC Amarna letters uses EN for bêlu, though not exclusively. The more common spelling is mostly 'be' + 'li', to make "bêlí", or its equivalent. Some example letters using cuneiform 'EN' are letters EA (for 'El Amarna') 152, EA 254, and EA 282,〔Moran, ''The Amarna Letters'', p. 239, 307, 323.〕 titled: ''"A demand for recognition"'', by Abimilku; ''"Neither rebel or delinquent (2)"'', by Labayu; and ''"Alone"'', by Shuwardata. Most of the uses are in the letter introduction, formulaic addresses to the pharaoh, stating typically to effect: :"To the King (pharaoh), ''Lord-mine'', (speaking) thus...." Bodies of the letters also repeat the phraseology of "King, my Lord", sometimes doubly as in letter EA 34, (using be-li, as bêlu), ''"The pharaoh's reproach answered"'', by the King of Alashiya. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「EN (cuneiform)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
