Sumerian Language Page
In Sumerian, one can see that phonetically simple words correspond to early,
basic concepts and phonetically complex words correspond to later,
culturally advanced concepts.
When the proto-Sumerians began inventing their language,
they started with vowel-only words (e.g., a, 'water')
and quickly progressed to three different phonetic structures involving consonants, namely:
vowel-consonant (VC, e.g., ab, 'window');
consonant-vowel (CV, e.g., ba, 'to give'); and
vowel-consonant-vowel (VCV, e.g., aba, 'lake').
