Here I present: Peter Hogan (author) & Tara Hogan (editor), “Sumerian Cuneiform Dictionary: 𒊩 𒊬 MUGSAR“, 2014. The Sumerian language is 𒅴𒂠 “eme-ĝir” as the cuneiforms read. The cuneiforms are 13 and 9 impression lines in “eme-ĝir”.
This book is subtitled “MUG-SAR”; and, “MUG” in Sumerian means “cuneus” (wedge) while 𒊬 “SAR” means “write”.
The number of impressions of cuneiforms is 4 and 13 lines for “MUG” & “SAR”.
I use “SAR” as the author titled the book. The “MUG” 𒊩 that I used is rotated, and instead of “cuneus” (wedge) 𒊩 “fine” is the meaning of the four (4) impressions.
This example of cuneiform substitution is what this dictionary can handle.

SUMMARY.
BELOW is a sample of items from the dictionary.
The dictionary is readable at the level of the general reader. I recommend this as a supplement to Joshua Bowen’ & Megan Lewis, “Learn to Read Ancient Sumerian“, 2020 which is a grammar and not a dictionary.
