Cuneiform=

A writing style that is comprised of different sequences and patterns of cuneus that is the Latin word for 'wedge' it is one of the earliest forms of writing, earlier versions of this could probably be the earliest writing.

The wedge shape itself was formed by the pressing in of the triangular reed stem (that was used as a stylus). It is believed that cuneiform was a development of the token iconography found on Ancient Western Asian tablets (itself a development from Bullae used for trade).

First appeared in Sumeria, Mesopotamia

Cuneiform is one of the earliest forms of writing developed by the ancient Sumerians around 3200 BC. It consists of wedge-shaped characters that were typically impressed onto clay tablets using a stylus. These clay tablets provide valuable insights into ancient Mesopotamian civilization, including literature, history, and administrative records.

Cuneiform means wedge-shaped. Apex means the uppermost point or the narrow or pointed end.
Cuneiform apex would be the wedge-shaped uppermost point of something or the wedge-shaped pointed end of something.
