Recognize Ugaritic characters with reading and comparison notes.
The lessons present the supplied signs and transliterations, including the word divider. Some entries also include IPA or reference forms from other scripts. These comparisons are supports for recognition, not a substitute for learning the Ugaritic shape.
Read these examples freely without an account. In the app you can preview lessons, study a private copy and progress through the course one lesson at a time.
