Terrien De Lacouperie, “The Old Babylonian Characters and their Chinese Derivatives“, 1888 was the topic of an earlier blog post. Japanese kanji have “on” (Chinese readings) as well as “kun” (Japanese readings) So here I present: Jun Ikeda, “Early Japanese
and Early Akkadian Writing Systems: A Contrastive Survey of ‘Kunogenesis’ “, 2007 was a linguistic publication on Japanese kanji “kun” readings. The Japanese kanji for “tree” and “god” 木 神.
Akkadian is a language written in “cuneiform” (like Old Babylonian) that contains both “on” and “kun” readings of the cuneiform logos.
Jun Ikeda, “Early Japanese and Early Akkadian Writing Systems: A Contrastive Survey of ‘Kunogenesis’ “, 2007 was publication on the origins of early writing.
