The cuneiform ha sign comes in two common varieties in the 1350 BC Amarna letters. It is also found in the large 12-chapter (Tablets I-XII) work of the ''Epic of Gilgamesh''. Cuneiform ''ha'' is used as a syllabic for ''ha'', and an alphabetic for ''h'', or ''a''; from the ''Epic of Gilgamesh'' it also has two sumerogramic uses (capital letter (majuscule)), for HA (Akkadian language ''zittu'', for "share"), and KU6, for ''nūnu'', "fish".〔Parpola, 197l. ''The Standard Babylonian Epic of Gilgamesh'', Glossary, pp. 119-145, zittu, p. 145, nūnu, p. 135.〕 The digitized version of ''ha'' has 4, short vertical strokes, 2-pairs-of-2, in a square; it is ligatured at the right, typically with a large, or medium-large sized wedge-stroke. The 2nd type of cuneiform ''ha'' is consistent as: 2-verticals, with a wedge between, and a (typical) large wedge ligatured at right; (thus both types contain the wedge at the right). Type I of the sign with four short vertical strokes , (1-pair, above another pair), is the za (cuneiform) sign, which is used for linguistic items like: ''ṣa, za, ZA'',〔Parpola, 197l. ''The Standard Babylonian Epic of Gilgamesh'', Sign List, pp. 155-165, Sign no. 589, sign za, etc., p. 165.〕 ZA being a sumerogram. In the ''Epic of Gilgamesh'' the usage numbers for the ''ha'' sign is as follows: ''ha''-(145 times), ''HA''-(2), ''KU6''-(4).〔Parpola, 197l.
