-The smallest unit of time used in the Old Assyrian corpus is //ūmum// = “day or night”. Indeed, the word //bērum//, which usually corresponds to a time unit, a “double-hour”, is always used in the Old Assyrian corpus as the length unit equal to the distance a walker may cover within this “double-hour”, a little more than 10 km (cf.[[Numbers & Metrology 2nd millennium]]).+The smallest unit of time used in the Old Assyrian corpus is //ūmum// = “day or night”.

 The Mesopotamian “day” consists of daytime and nighttime (nychtemeron). Days, //ūmum//, are counted in letters from one to twenty or more. The word night, //mūšum// or //mušītum//, appears often in the Old Assyrian documentation; nighttime is also expressed by the term //nabattum// ([[http://cdli.ucla.edu/P360993|KTH 3, 10-16]]). The Mesopotamian “day” consists of daytime and nighttime (nychtemeron).
