The cuneiform te sign is found in both the 14th century BC Amarna letters and the Epic of Gilgamesh; it is also notable in the Hittite language, and for that language, besides its usage as ''te'', it is a sumerogram (logogram or ideogram), and is used as a component in the word for "envoy",〔Held, Schmalstieg, Gertz, 1987. ''Beginning Hittite'', Glossaries: Akkadian pp. 167-169, p. 169.〕 (LÚ-ȚE-mu), or LÚ-ṬE-mi, 100x25px100x23px. 'Envoy' is used in the famous Hittite annals, narrating the story of Prince Zannanza who after going to Egypt to become husband (and Pharaoh) to Queen Nefertiti, was intercepted and killed. The usage of ''te'' in the Epic of Gilgamesh, is only for syllabic or alphabetic ''te'', 124 times.〔Parpola, 197l. ''The Standard Babylonian Epic of Gilgamesh'', Sign List, pp. 155-165, no. 376, p. 161.〕 The sign also comes in two forms, with two pairs of the left 4-signs, or one above a row of 3-signs, either group tilted, down to the right.〔Held, Schmalstieg, Gertz, 1987.
