Logogram

Note

Dual-function sign: syllabogram /qe/ (AB78) + metrological logogram QÊ when standalone or suffixed to commodity nouns. 7 standalone across 5 tablets (4 sites), always followed by numerals (3, 17, 21, 30). 8 suffix attestations on 7 distinct words. Key evidence: HTWc3014 roundel KU-MI-NA-QE + CAP = "a measure of cumin + goats" (commodity transaction tag). Suffixal behavior distinguishes QÊ from other commodity logograms — it modifies the preceding noun rather than standing alone as a commodity category. PS *qab(b)- "dry/liquid measure" (Starling #2827, domain: Metrology).
