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.

(Ziggurat – Zigg’urat – ዘገዐ ዐራት – secluded and connected resting place – a temple were the God’s rested) It could refer to the people chanting at the sight of the temple, which the scribe is trying to tell us.

mainstream translation

Elulu (Sumerian: 𒂊𒇻𒇻, e-lu-lu) is listed as the third king of the First Dynasty of Ur on the Sumerian king list, which states he reigned for 25 years.

One early inscription for an “Elulu (or Elili), king of Ur” was found at nearby Eridu, stating that this king had built up the abzu ziggurat for Enki.

Some scholars have further connected Elulu with the “Elilina” who was said to be the father of the later king Enshakushanna of Uruk, but this theory is uncertain, owing to chronological difficulties.

lay – ለይ – scarlet, red.

balulay – በለ ለይ – he wanted blood.

belual’la – ብልዕለ – over him.

The contextual and symbolic etymology tells us that the King was fighting enemies which eventually led to his demise. It also tells us that another monarch defeated him or controlled him as there was someone above him.

mainstream translation

Balulu (Sumerian: 𒁀𒇻𒇻, ba-lu-lu) was the final king of the First Dynasty of Ur, according to the Sumerian King List, which states he ruled for 36 years:

“… Mesh-ki-ang-Nanna, son of Mesannepada, was king, 36 years he ruled; Elulu, 25 years he ruled; Balulu, 36 years he ruled; 4 kings, the years: 171(?) they ruled. Ur with weapons was struck down; the kingship to Awan was carried off.
