Abstract

This paper deals with the different readings and meanings of the signs ŠÈ.KA. One of these readings is Zì.KA or zì-KA/ka, which has been traditionally interpreted as a kind of flour or as the process of milling. However, a revision of the texts from the Third Dynasty of Ur (c. 2117-2008 B.C.), in which the group of signs ZÌ.KA o zì-KA/ka appears, shows that this term is actually a kind of gift.
