𒉵

U+12275 "𒉵" Cuneiform Sign Nunuz Ab2 Times Ne is a composite sign from the Sumerian cuneiform script, representing a combination of the signs for "nunuz" (often associated with an egg or a female concept), "ab2" (meaning cow), and "ne." This specific ligature, as its name indicates, is formed by writing the "ab2" sign multiplied by "ne," and it functioned in the ancient writing system as a logogram or phonetic indicator, likely carrying a specialized meaning related to a cow or a female animal in ritual or economic contexts. It belongs to the Cuneiform Numbers and Punctuation block and was used in the third millennium BCE, reflecting the complex, syllabic and logographic nature of cuneiform where signs could be combined to create nuanced vocabulary.
