    If the cuneiform signs for male and female animals fit together
    so well, how can linguists call them arbitrary?

    ram
    male lamb
    billy goat
    male kid

    Male

    Female

    (male sheep)

    ewe
    female lamb
    nanny goat
    female kid
    (female sheep)

    Vagina (recognized by the

    Legs (I think...)

    Female
    Male
    Signs taken from Archaic Bookkeeping by Hans J. Nissen, Peter Damerow, Robert K. Englund,
    and translated by Paul Larsen; 1993; page 89.
