     Often the context will be clear enough and leave little room for doubt, but in many cases the need was felt to make the function of the Sumerogram in a particular clause explicit. This was done by adding the Hittite case ending to the Sumerogram: e.g., išḫaš is the subject case, išḫan the object case, and išḫi the indirect object case. These could be written ᴇɴ-aš, ᴇɴ-an, and ᴇɴ-i respectively. Such endings attached to a Sumerogram are known as phonetic complements.
