𒀍
U+1200D "𒀍" Cuneiform Sign Ab Times Gal is a compound sign from the Sumerian and Akkadian cuneiform script, representing a ligature formed by combining the signs "Ab" and "Gal" meaning "great" or "big" sea or water. This character belongs to the Early Dynastic Cuneiform block and was used in ancient Mesopotamia between the 3rd and 2nd millennia BCE, primarily in administrative, religious, and literary texts inscribed on clay tablets. Its structure reflects the logographic and syllabic nature of cuneiform writing, where multiple signs could merge to create new meanings or phonetic values, often related to concepts of scale or divinity in contexts involving the god Enki or bodies of water.
