Varieties exist: for example Amarna letter EA 271 shows 4-hortizontal long-strokes, with 2 short-strokes, between the two long ones, (see here, 2nd line from bottom (tablet Obverse):. The Hittite language version of tu, (and ideogram TU) is identical in common form to the Sumerian. The composition of the sign is effectively the 4-wedge strokes at left, (being še (cuneiform)) connected to the rest of the cuneiform sign. Cuneiform še is also a common-use syllabic sign, with few subvarieties. (Two example angled-wedges).
