Usage notes

Very few forms are attested. They are mostly written with the logographic stem IGI.ḪI.A-. Although it is inferable from syllabic writing, these attestations are controversial. The nature of this term is debated, as some say it might be a suppletive form of the collective plural neuter 𒊭𒀀𒆪𒉿 (šākuu̯a).
