In reply to:>during the Great Sheep
Famine in the last century
AS, just a reminder that this sort of phrase is now ambiguous...In reply to:I'm sure I don't know what tsuwm means.
While not being a tsuwmologist or a Sumerologist, I think the ambiguity far from being over there in a box, lies in the words "last century". Do we follow the more logical count whereby this is the last year of the twentieth century, or do we say "Vox populi vox dei" and count it as the first year of the twenty-first century?
