Talk:Sumerian/Grammar/Lesson Four - The Copula

more explanation needed...
I could use this explained better....

"So instead of saying I am your king = lugal.zu i.men, we could just as easily say lugal.zu.en. Simple as that! The meaning is the same, it's just a little bit of syntactic variety to a common expression"

"I am your king" could be /lugal.zu i.men/ or /lugal.zu.en/

would that be the same for "He/she is your king" ...can we say, /lugal.zu i.me.am/ OR /lugal.zu.en/ .. if not how does the copula work in this instance?


 * I think they have made a mistake, I believe it should be /lugal.zu.me.en/ (𒈗𒍪𒈨𒂗), with 𒂗 possibly replaced with 𒇷 (though less common). They write it /men/ because of pronunciation, though it is usually transliterated /me.en/ instead --Mexicocamboya (discuss • contribs) 08:05, 29 January 2016 (UTC)
