See the short chronology timeline for reference. When transcribing cuneiform words, hyphenate the word parts, for ease of research (i.e. see cuneiform script#transcribing). e.g. Enmebaragesi > En-me-barage-si Transcribe 'š' (sometimes 'c') as 'sh'. e.g. Aššur > Ashur The exception is the Hittite language, where the /s/-sound is traditionally transcribed 'š', and should be rendered a simple 's', e.g. Hattuša > Hattusa. (except where tradition, again, has done differently, e.g. Kaneš > Kanesh) Transcribe 'g̃' or 'ĝ' (sometimes 'j') as 'ng', even at the beginning of words. e.g. G̃irsu > Ngirsu (transcriptions necessarily lose information, i.e. double letters, such as in 'Aššur', can't be destinguished from single, and some distinctions are lost, such as /š/ vs. /s/+/h/, or the /ŋ/ in 'singer' vs. the /ŋ/+/g/ in 'finger'.)
