Written with an ideograph that describes him as the 'god of the day, there is no deity whose worship enjoys an equally continued popularity in Babylonia and Assyria. Beginning at the earliest period of Babylonian history, and reaching to the latest, his worship suffers no interruption. Shamash, moreover, maintains his original character with scarcely any modification throughout this long period.
See e.g., Ward, Seal Cylinders of the Metropolitan Museum of Art, p. 12. Ramman. These two lines are repeated. The thunderbolt. Cities sacred to thee. I.e., the sacred edifices in these cities. The lofty dwelling of the gods is here meant. See chapter xxvii. Ideographic reading the ideograph signifies 'shrine. The verbal stem barâru means 'to shine. See p. 414. See p. 525. See p. 400.
There he was received with distinction. The Emperor Okimachi bestowed on him a sword, and the shogun, Yoshiteru, entitled him to incorporate the ideograph "teru" in his name, which was thus changed from Kagetora to Terutora. He was also granted the office of kwanryo. On his return to Echigo, Kenshin proceeded to assert his new title.
*The ideograph sen signified originally a "fountain," and its employment to designate a coin seems to have been suggested by an idea analogous to that underlying the English word "currency." "At the present time the wages of a carpenter are almost a yen a day.
In any case, the designation of the god as a 'servant' shows that he is described here by an epithet, and not by his real name, which is to be sought rather in the sense of 'strong, that is one of the meanings of the ideograph gir.

"id:" stands for "ideograph", and indicates that the reader should form a mental picture based on the "xxxx" following the colon. "xxxx" may represent a single symbol, a word, or an attempt at a picture composed of ASCII characters. E. g.
The first time you see a noble one, you will imagine, perhaps, that you see the colossal model of some beautiful Chinese letter towering against the sky; for all the lines of the thing have the grace of an animated ideograph, have the bold angles and curves of characters made with four sweeps of a master-brush.
The ideograph for "tomb" seems to be a rude picture of the funerary chapel, but from it we can derive little information as to its construction. Towards the end of the Ist Dynasty, and during the lid, the royal tombs became much more complicated, being surrounded with numerous chambers for the dead slaves, etc.
The sea monster mentioned in this myth is written with a Chinese ideograph signifying "crocodile," but since the Japanese cannot have had any knowledge of crocodiles, and since the monster is usually represented pictorially as a dragon, there can be little doubt that we are here confronted by the Dragon King of Chinese and Korean folk-lore which had its palace in the depths of the ocean.
That is simply translated; the midday sun illuminates nothing. Meris, deposed, is king only in name; and the sun no longer shines on him as 'Ruler of Upper and Lower Egypt. Under that despairing symbol, 'King of Nothing, we have the phonetics which spell sha, the word for garden. And, just beyond this, horizontally, the modifying ideograph meaning 'a water garden';
