How many letters are in the cuneiform alphabet?

Cuneiform is not an alphabet. It is a syllabic script, meaning that each symbol represents a syllable, not a single letter.

There were hundreds of cuneiform signs, but the exact number varied over time and between regions. However, a typical scribe would have needed to learn around 600 signs to be literate.
