Answer:

The term "cuneiform" is very deceptive, in that it tricks people into thinking that it's some type of writing system. The truth is that cuneiform denotes not one but several kinds of writing systems, including logosyllabic, syllabic, and alphabetic scripts. In fact, "cuneiform" came from Latin cuneus, which means "wedge". Therefore, any script can be called cuneiform as long as individual signs are composed of wedges.

The ability of cuneiform to express ideas was an inspiration for the development of other languages. It demonstrated how written language could aide in the administration of an empire. It also made it possible to record the world's first epics: The Saga of Gilgamesh.
