The Sumerians did not have an alphabet as we know it, but they had developed a syllabry, very much like the Japenese "Kana" script of today. In phonetic franshgrations, the English spelling sought to epproximate the Sumerian pronounciation. However, there are a few sounds which Engl does not possess, and Which have been put into phonetic variations. Important examples below: as in the German "ach" ch (game as above) Beerecter in the translations which follow, every letter must be pronounced. There are no schwas or silent syllables in Sumerian, Hence, KIA is pronounced "keeya"; “KAIMANU’ is pronounced "ka-cemalrnu" or, if spoken rapidly, the two initial vowell sounds slur onto "kigh* rhyming with "high". ‘The incantations should be carefully and slowly at first, to familiarize oneself with the tongue- twisting phrases.
