𒂗

En (Borger 2003 nr. 164 ; U+12097 𒂗, see also Ensí) is the Sumeriancuneiform for 'lord/lady' or 'priest[ess]'. Originally, it seems to have been used to designate a high priest or priestess of a Sumerian city-state's patron-deity – a position that entailed political power as well. It may also have been the original title of the ruler of Uruk. See Lugal, ensi and en for more details.
