The whole question is meaningless, since <gir> and <kir> are in fact
the same sign (#244 in Ruester and Neu's Zeichenlexikon: [phonetic:]
gir, kir, pis^, (pas^), pus^3, bis^, [akkadogram:] qir, [sumerogram:]
HA6). The word would usually have been written S^A3-ir, anyway, with
the Sumerogram for "heart".
