U (cuneiform)
http://dbpedia.org/resource/U_(cuneiform) an entity of type: WikicatCuneiformSigns,AmarnaLetters
The cuneiform U sign is found in both the 14th century BC Amarna letters and the Epic of Gilgamesh. It can be used for the alphabetic u, instead of the more common 2nd u, (ú). It has two other uses, commonly. It can be used for the number 10 (especially the Amarna letters from Tushratta of Mitanni, or Burna-Buriash II the king of Babylon), but its probable greater use is for the conjunction, u, with any of the conjunction meanings: and, but, else, etc. Of the three u's, by graphemic analysis (Buccellati, 1979), the commonness is as follows:

Suffix "iYa" is used in the Middle East\Southwest Asia at present day to end placenames, or other names: "My Xxxxx".
