Kalumum
Kalumum(Sumerian:𒅗𒇻𒈬𒌝) ofKishwas the eighthSumerianking in the First Dynasty of Kish, according to theSumerian king list.[1]Like the other members of the First dynasty prior toEtana,he was named for an animal; his name "Kalumun" isAkkadianfor "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]
