介绍（中）	这个透镜状的泥板被用来帮助抄写员学习使用三角形楔形文字（字面意思是"楔形"）书写苏美尔语和阿卡德语。为了学习一个单词或符号，老师会在正面写下表格，然后学生会在背面重复练习。这样的基本练习通常是在小而圆的平板电脑上完成的，很容易放在手掌中在这块石碑上，乌拉什神的名字被复制了六次。（背面似乎有其他标志，但损坏得无法阅读。）有两个标志被用来写这个名字：左边的第一个星形标志是用来表示神的名字的标志。第二个符号可以用来写音节ib或ip；在这里，它代表乌拉什，一个神的名字。楔形文字符号用于表示单词和声音，单个符号可以表示多个单词和/或声音。因此，楔形文字的研究需要掌握几百个符号及其不同的含义。
介绍（英）	This lenticular clay tablet was used to help scribes learn to write the Sumerian and Akkadian languages using the triangle-like cuneiform (literally, "wedge-shaped") script. To learn a word or sign, the teacher would write the form on the obverse, and the student would then repeat the exercise on the reverse. Such elementary exercises were often completed on tablets that were small and round, easily fitting into the palm of a hand. On this tablet, the name of the deity Urash was copied six times. (Additional signs seem to be present on the reverse but are too damaged to read.) Two signs were used to write this name: the first star-like sign on the left is a sign that was used to indicate the name of a divine being. The second sign could be used to write the syllable ib or ip; here it stands for Urash, the name of a deity. Cuneiform signs were used to render both words and sounds, and a single sign could signify multiple words and/or sounds. The study of cuneiform writing, therefore, required the mastery of several hundred signs and their different meanings.
