Symbolism

One thing you have to ask yourself is how does Ge’ez/Tigrinya translation give an accurate historical and contextual etymology which makes much more sense than the manistream translations. I will leave you to your own judgement.

Jushur/ĜIŠ.UR – ጊስ ዑር

Gesa – ጌሰ – travel, leave, go.

Negus – ንጉስ – King.

Mainstream translation

Jushur (cuneiform: 𒄑𒃡 ĜIŠ.UR3; Sumerian: Ĝušur) appears as a king of Kish in the Sumerian king list, a literary composition created in Mesopotamia at the beginning of the second millennium BC. He is either the first king on the list to be mentioned, or the first king after a flood, depending on the version of the SKL. According to the list, Jushur reigned for 1200 years. Jushur does not appear in Early Dynastic inscriptions. His historicity, like that of many other kings of the earlier parts of the Sumerian King List, is considered unlikely.

Ĝušur has also been transliterated in the literature as Jushur, Jucur, Gushur, Ngushur, and Gishur. An early reading of the cuneiform was Gaur.

Kullassina-bel – ኩል እሲኢና በል

Kullu – ኩሉ – all, total, everything.

Si’na – ሲኢና – she lost.

bel – በል – say.

Kullu esi’na bel – ኩሉ እሲኢና በል – Say she lost everything.

The contextual and symbolic meaning is very precise and accurate. It is telling us about a ruler of a city which lost everything. This make sense as he is a ruler of a city after it was devastated by the flood. It is telling us that his city which must have been a glorious city before the flood has now lost its glory and its treasures after the flood.

Mainstream translation

Kullassina-bel of Kish was the second king in the First Dynasty of Kish according to the Sumerian king list, which adds that he reigned for 960 years (or 900 in some copies).

As the name seems to be an Akkadian phrase meaning “All(kull) of them(assina) (were) lord(bel)”, it has sometimes been suggested that the occurrence of this name on the list was intended to denote a period of no central authority in the early period of Kish.

Gesa/Gesha – ጌሰ\ጌሸ – travel, leave, go.

Neges – ነገስ – become king, to be throned.
