Detailed explanation-1: -Cuneiform is one of the oldest forms of writing known. It means “wedge-shaped, ‘’ because people wrote it using a reed stylus cut to make a wedge-shaped mark on a clay tablet.
Detailed explanation-2: -Cuneiform is a logo-syllabic script that was used to write several languages of the Ancient Middle East. The script was in active use from the early Bronze Age until the beginning of the Common Era. It is named for the characteristic wedge-shaped impressions (Latin: cuneus) which form its signs.
Detailed explanation-3: -The materials used in cuneiform-clay and reeds-were both readily available. Reeds were used as writing implements. The tip of a reed stylus was impressed into a wet clay surface to draw the strokes of the sign-thus acquiring a “wedge-shaped” appearance.
