Today, I've been reading a very old medical commentary from ancient Uruk, written in the Akkadian language.
It's a tiny cuneiform tablet that explains words and phrases excerpted from another text - a diagnostic manual, known in antiquity as Sa-gig.

1. Cuneiform isnt chiselled. It's pressed in clay which was then dried
2. It's even funnier, cause most people in that era couldnt write, so he had to go complain to a scribe to have the angry note written down

Ah, Assyriology. Nothing like it.
It took this very respected and esteemed Assyriologist 24 pages of closely reason linguistic analysis to conclude that the Assyrians just didn't have a term for "foot soldier."
