lugal

Japanese: lugal
lugal

Some scholars point out the existence of the Subareans, related to the Hurrians, as a third racial element in Sumerian history. During the Early Dynastic Period, the title lugal (literally "big man") for kings appeared in Period I (Ur Archaic Texts), and another title for rulers, ensi (the etymology of which is still uncertain), appeared in Period III. Social organization became more condensed, and alliances and wars between city-states became frequent. Archaeologically, the beginning of this period is confirmed by the use of plano-convex bricks, but historically Period I (c. 2800 BC - 27th century BC) was a transitional period, the era of Kish hegemony and the alliance of Sumerian cities.
