Some editors to this page have repeatedly made changes to hide the fact that no specialist in the Sumerian language agrees with the linking of this word to liberty in any publication. There are a lot of libertarians out there who will have to make up new explanations for their tattoos if word gets out that the liberty "definition" of the Sumerian word is a modern libertarian invention. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 174.70.98.37 ( talk) 22:39, 20 January 2013 (UTC)

Can we resolve this neutrality dispute? Kramer is an extremely well-reknowned Assyriologist and the citation above should serve Wikipedia's citation requirements. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.171.96.92 ( talk) 17:18, 11 August 2013 (UTC)

The Sumerologist Noah Kramer described it as follows in his book From the Tablets of Sumer: Twenty-Five Firsts in Man's Recorded History, The Falcon's Wing Press, 1956:
Kramer explains the context in the following very interesting paragraph from another of his books, The Sumerians. Their History, Culture and Character (University of Chicago Press, 1963, p. 79):
Historically speaking it is very clear that amargi (or amagi) means freedom. The question asked by Kramer is why in sumerian context "return to the mother" has taken this meaning. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 88.174.103.32 ( talk) 11:23, 31 August 2013 (UTC)
I've resolved the neutrality issue with a citation to Samuel Noah Kramer's book. I believe Dougweller may have misread the above paragraph in which Kramer points out that by reading the Urukagina texts between the lines one can perceive the dispute between temple and palace and which side the citizens of Lagash were supporting. The scope of the "reading between the lines" would have come to an end by the time Kramer brings up his reading of amargi (the parallelism between "Reading between the lines, ..." and "Finally, ..." indicates these statements are peers, not that the latter is subordinated to the former). 67.171.96.92 ( talk) 05:11, 27 October 2013 (UTC)
How do you pronounce Ama-gi? Is it Ah-muh jee or ah-muh gee? -- 07:27, 5 December 2005 65.104.11.58
Wikipedia requires that all assertions in articles be sourced and cited to a verifiable, reliable secondary source. Claims that are not verifiable and cited will be tagged, and then removed from the article. If you wish to make a more disputable claim, it would be best to discuss on the Talk page first.

I have tagged the Instituto Politico para la Libertad citation in the 2009-05-05T09:54:34 version of the article [1] as {citecheck}. I'm quite willing to believe that IPplL may utilize the Amagi Sumerian symbol; but the given citation URL does not seem to support it. Can someone provide a link to a web page that actually does support it? N2e ( talk) 17:31, 5 May 2009 (UTC)
The section with a link to some unknown Georgian school of economics is orthographically and grammatically wrong and seems to be little more than advertising. I suggest deleting it. SchnitteUK ( talk) 16:49, 30 June 2010 (UTC)
