    The document discusses various cuneiform signs that are difficult to distinguish from one another in later scripts. Specifically, it notes that the signs KU and MA become hard to tell apart over time, with KU being somewhat narrower. It also states that the sign BA should have its lowest stroke angled but is often mistaken for MA and KU. Additionally, the signs DUB and UM are indistinguishable in one cursive script, while MAŠ and BAR merged in later Assyrian scripts.
