Kalibum Explained

Kalibum of Kish was the seventh Sumerian king in the First Dynasty of Kish, according to the Sumerian king list.[1] This name is written "Ga-lí-bu-um ... normalized as Kalibum", and is believed to be derived from the Akkadian for 'hound'.[2] Kalibum is unlikely to have existed as his name does not appear on texts dating from the period in which he was presumed to have lived (Early Dynastic period).[3]
