Can someone recommend an app?
I need an app similar to Jsesh, but better, with more symbols and that works better than Jsesh. I'd like it for mobile, but a desktop version would be great too.

A question
I am studying Akkadian using Caplice’s book, and I came across a question about phonetic complements that includes an example.
​
The word for “house” is bītum. However, the sign É can also mean “house” by itself. Because of this, the Akkadians sometimes wrote it as É-tum, adding the phonetic complement -tum to clarify the pronunciation of bītum.
​
I would like to know if, in the image, the word for “house” is written in this correct form.
Note: the book uses Neo-Assyrian signs, so I used the same sign system as well.
