 However, in Akkadian the script practically became a fully fledged syllabic script, and the original logographic nature of cuneiform became secondary, though logograms for frequent words such as 'god' and 'temple' continued to be used.For this reason, the sign "AN" can on the one hand be a logogram for the word "ilum" ('god') and on the other signify the god Anu or even the syllable "-an-".Additionally, this sign was used as a determinative for divine names.
