KÚR
The cuneiform KÚR sign is used extensively in the Amarna letters. It also has a minor usage in the ''Epic of Gilgamesh.'' Its usage in the Amarna letters is due to the letters' topics of "hostilities", "war", or "warfare" in the discord amongst the city-states and the regional discord in the Canaan region. A large subset of the Amarna letters are written by vassal kings in governorship of cities, towns or regions in Canaan.
The sign is a simple two-stroke sign, a horizontal (or slight upward-stroke) with a stroke slashing downwards across its center. The end result cuneiform sign is easily compared to a "squashed-X" alphabetic.
KÚR is used and is defined as a capital-letter sumerogram (majuscule), and specifically in the Akkadian language has the meaning of "warfare", "hostility", Akkadian ''nukurtu''.〔Parpola, 197l. ''The Standard Babylonian Epic of Gilgamesh'', Glossary, pp. 119-145, nukurtu, p. 135.〕 Any syllabic cuneiform sign with 'n' or 't' can supply the beginning or end of "nukurtu".
==Usage, and Amarna letters list==
In the ''Epic of Gilgamesh'', the KÚR sign is only used twice and only once for ''nukurtu'', Tablet VI, line 40: ''"...a battering ram'' (Akkadian "iašubû") ''that attracts the enemy''-('nukurtu', "hostility", ''nu-KÚR-ti'')〔Kovacs, Maureen Gallery, transl. with intro. (1985,1989) ''The Epic of Gilgamesh,'' Tablet VI, (VI, l. 40, (38 in Kovacs)), p. 52.〕 ''land,...."''
