KalibumofKishwas the seventhSumerianking in the First Dynasty of Kish, according to theSumerian king list.[1]This name is written "Ga-lí-bu-um... normalized asKalibum",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]
