<sup>(d)</sup>MAN (𒀭𒌋𒌋, <sup>d</sup>20) is a writing for the Mesopotamian Sun-god, Sumerian Utu = Akkadian ''[[Šamaš]].'' The sign MAN is the cuneiform numeral 20 (𒌋𒌋, i.e. 2 x 10), the Sun-god's number, as the Moon-god's is 30 (𒌋𒌋𒌋). In this, the Moon-god's number reflects the number of days in the lunar month, and the Sun-god's a special relationship with the 20th of each month (Horowitz 2012<ref>Horowitz, W. (2012). “Sundayin Mesopotamia,” in W. Horowitz,John Steele, and Jonathan Ben- Dov eds., Living the Lunar Calendar, Oxbow Publishers, Oxford: 9-18.</ref>). For numerology and the great-gods of the Ancient Mesopotamian Pantheon see Livingstone 1986<ref>''Livingstone A.'' Mystical and Mythological Explanatory Works of Assyrian and Babylonian Scholars. Oxford, 1986.</ref>: 30-33. |

(d)MAN (𒀭𒌋𒌋, d20) is a writing for the Mesopotamian Sun-god, Sumerian Utu = Akkadian Šamaš. The sign MAN is the cuneiform numeral 20 (𒌋𒌋, i.e. 2 x 10), the Sun-god's number, as the Moon-god's is 30 (𒌋𒌋𒌋). In this, the Moon-god's number reflects the number of days in the lunar month, and the Sun-god's a special relationship with the 20th of each month (Horowitz 2012[1]). For numerology and the great-gods of the Ancient Mesopotamian Pantheon see Livingstone 1986[2]: 30-33.
