The ancient Sumerian writing system is known as "cuneiform" from the Latin cuneus ("wedge "), because the symbols are wedge-shaped, and marked into clay tablets with a stylus. The characters of cuneiform writing were originally pictorial, but because of the method of writing, they evolved into collections of wedge-shaped marks with little visual indication to their origins.
