Kalumum Explained

Kalumum (Sumerian:) of Kish was the eighth Sumerian king in the First Dynasty of Kish, according to the Sumerian king list.[1] Like the other members of the First dynasty prior to Etana, he was named for an animal; his name "Kalumun" is Akkadian for "lamb".[2] Kalulum 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]
