TI (cuneiform)

Cuneiform TI or TÌL (Borger 2003 nr. ; U+122FE 𒋾) has the main meaning of "life" when used ideographically. The written sign developed from the drawing of an arrow, since the words meaning "arrow" and "life" were pronounced similarly in the Sumerian language. In Akkadian orthography, the sign has the syllabic values di or ṭi, in Hittite ti, di or te.
