cuneus

基本解釋

Gradually, these pictographs became more stylized and wedge-like or cuneiform (Latin for wedge = cuneus) and adapted to write the local language, or Sumerian.
漸漸地，這些象形文字變得更加規(guī)范化，變成了楔形文字，適合于書寫當(dāng)?shù)氐恼Z言，或者是蘇美爾語。
Even the word coin, translates from the Latin "cuneus," meaning wedge, and was thusly named because early coins ressembled the wedges the dies used to coin coins.
甚至“coin”(硬幣)一詞，是從拉丁文“cuneus”翻譯過來的，意思是“楔子”。之所以稱之為“楔子”，是由于早期的硬幣與用來鑄造硬幣的楔形模具很相似。
