I would rather wonder why there is 'eudmelambi' in the title. Lugal means king and Nirgal is ancient god. If they would put smth in the middle it would have a meaning 'servant of', 'priest of', 'bearer of power of' etc. But I really cannot find word 'eudmelambi' anywhere, hmm...

It's creeping cultural influence from C'tis. What's your excuse for a one letter name?

Most of the c'tissian names are old sumerian, babylonian and assyrian names. I may have made mistakes while writing them, but most are names of gods, kings and historical figures.

Many kings used combinations of lugal and a couple of other epithets in their names.

Lugal iirc means something like "ruler".

Seems it's actually the name of an an epic telling of Ninurtas deeds. Also known as Lugal-e.

Is there anywhere we can see a list of all the names in each of the different naming lists? And are there more naming lists that are unmoddable (aside from the hardcoded names of heros and unique summons)?
