Change and Continuity:
The Case of Sumerian Enclitic Copula -am6 and -am3
Fumi Karahashi
It is fair to say that the Gudea inscriptions, in elegant style and structurally complex, were the culmination of Sumerian narrative writing. Among their most striking characteristics is the frequent occurrence of the third person singular enclitic copula -am3. Starting with this rather impressionistic observation, I will take a look at the -am6/3, mostly in the Early Dynastic (ED) and Gudea inscriptions, some of its functions and usage from the viewpoint of change and continuity. As two recent dissertations, one by Paul Delnero (2006) and the other by Abraham Jagersma (2010), have offered detailed studies on the Sumerian copula, this paper will not be exhaustive but rather limit itself to arguing for three points. (1) The -am6/3 cliticized onto a finite verb of the main clause may be understood on the model of the Japanese no da construction which has two primary functions, explanatory and focus. (2) This type of construction as well as subject-focus and object-focus are found in the ED inscriptions and continued in the Gudea inscriptions. An appositional/parenthetical NP + -am6/3 in the matrix clause, however, may or may not be an innovation by the Gudea scribes. (3) A certain stylistic device making use of the -am6/3 is also detected in the ED inscriptions and continued in the Gudea corpus.
