“In Sumerian it was rendered as Lugal-asal. The names are used interchangeably in scholarship. The second element can be interpreted as a nisba, since it can be written with the determinative of a place name (ṣar-biki). Possibly a name of an area associated with the god, perhaps a grove, was derived from the trees.”
