A "Sumerian lexicon" with 1,255 logograms and 2,511 compound words. However, it doesn’t actually contain pictures of the #cuneiform signs! Nevertheless, I am fairly sure the “nu” on p.14 meaning “image, likeness, picture, figurine, statue; no, not, without, negative; pronominal prefix” is U+12261, which contains three strokes.
This gives a different three-stroke #cuneiform sign for NU (nu, sir₅), but that one is “light; fire; lamp; alabaster”, according to the #Sumerian-lexicon.
This #cuneiform dictionary has a wonderful index but only covers Akkadian, not Sumerian.
This #cuneiform sign list (for neo-Assyrian) gives a different two-stroke sign for “NU”, and a much more complicated one for “ŠIR (NU₁₁)”.
PDF.js renders PDF files in pure #JS, which could maybe be embedded into a JS application, for e.g. collaborative annotation.

this "Stratified B-trees" paper presents “a fully-versioned B-tree with optimal space and the same lookup time as the [copy-on-write] B-tree”, and also supports fully-versioned updates in o(1) IOs in linear space, by merging sorted arrays of (key, version, value) tuples, followed by “density amplification” by de-merging the arrays if they are not dense enough (<⅓) in some of the versions. Nodes are immutable once written. May also be relevant to Cuerda. #algorithms #trees
