What is ishiakkum anyway?

edit
``Mesopotamian society was organized around city-states. In early Sumerian times, a priest-king (en) ruled as a representative of the city's god, assisted by an assembly of citizens or elders. Later, as multicity states formed, a king (Sumerian lugal, Akkadian sharrum) reigned, and each individual city was administered by a governor (ensi or ishiakkum).`` [1] --Ishiakkum 08:45, 13 July 2005 (UTC)Reply

ishiakkum - my name is tom pedersen, st. paul, mn, usa pedersen@visi.com. I have enjoyed your comments on the Hun talk page particularly the relationship of the saxon and saka. I've been interested and working on this. I'm not a wikpedian. Could you give me your email for discussion? Tom P.
