U+12391 "𒎑" Cuneiform Sign Ninda2 Times Bal is a specific grapheme within the Cuneiform block, representing a Sumerian logographic compound or ligature. Its name indicates that it is formed by combining the sign for "NINDA2" (which relates to bread or food) with the sign for "BAL" (which often signifies a bowl, a turn, or a crosswise spindle) yielding a composite term that may have been used in administrative or lexical contexts to denote a particular type of ration, measure, or economic transaction. This character belongs to the earliest writing systems and provides insight into the complexity of Sumerian scribal practices, where multiple signs could be merged to convey nuanced meanings in accounting, trade, or ritual inventories.
