Sumerian Lexicon 1

I know how hard it is to find these words. There's no translation for you at Babelfish, either. Trust me, I've wanted this language used in the site or at least in a Sumerian to English Dictionary like they have for just about every other language. Not sure if they have it for gaalic though, although i will be putting some out there in the future, my readers.

I began to research the Sumerian *it was really hard to take out the second M there for a while in the beginning* after watching the movie The Fourth Kind with my husband. It scared me. It intrigued me. It made me sad for Abbey Tyler and her clients and how her son treated her the way he did after what happened to his father and saddened about what her daughter went through becomig blind after her husband... watch the movie to know what i'm talkinng about. Poor Abbey. I swear...what a strong woman to continue on.

Each word and its explanation is seperated by black and red checkered list. Enjoy. Have fun. And don't tear your hair out with the pronounciation.
