They Don't Make Dictionaries Of Sumerian Like They Used To
One of the happiest memories of my life is the afternoon when my grandmother, Suzanne Teleki, explained to me Why They Don't Make Dictionaries Of Sumerian Like They Used To And Why Decades-Old Sumerian Dictionaries Are So Vastly Much Better.
