Elamite cuneiform

[2] It has long been an enigma for scholars due to the scarcity of resources for its research and the irregularities found in the language.[2] In 1933–34, 33,000 Elamite cuneiform tablets were found as part of the Persepolis Administrative Archives.[7] The Archives are the most important primary source for an understanding of the internal workings of the Achaemenid Empire.The VC glyphs are often used for a syllable coda without any regard to the value of V, suggesting that they were in fact alphabetic C signs.[4] Much of the conflation of Ce and Ci, and also eC and iC, is inherited from Akkadian (pe-pi-bi, ke-ki, ge-gi, se-si, ze-zi, le-li, re-ri, and ḫe-ḫi—that is, only ne-ni are distinguished in Akkadian but not Elamite; of the VC syllables, only eš-iš-uš).In addition, 𒄴 is aḫ, eḫ, iḫ, uḫ in Akkadian, and so effectively is a coda consonant even there.
