Answer:

The barley sign could now be used in two ways. It could represent barley, as on this tablet, which tells us that Urra-ilum was given barley. It could also be used to represent a sound. The Sumerian word for barley was 'she'. So, the barley sign was used to represent the sound 'she' in a word.
