This afternoon I learned Markdown and put a whole lot of documentation on annotating Sumerian in it for @digcuneiform

An intense day of discussions with @epageperron and our computational linguist colleagues in Frankfurt for @digcuneiform - now time for a rest, followed by beer later on!

If alternate years stem from the fact that year names can be ambiguous, shouldn't the alternative years be linked to year names instead of artifacts? How do you model the fact that a month name can bear a specific month number based on place, ruler, and year of rulership?

Saturday fun: finishing the untangling of temporal data for the new @cdli_news database schema. Hamsters in @sameersengar7 and @epageperron can be heard from afar! 🐹🐹🐹

New stats for cuneiform texts of the Ur III period: Unique but not lemmatized word tokens: 78 182 (Yay affixing languages!), All word tokens: 3 241 013 (ouch!); Unique (not curated) sign readings: 3189 🤓
