What is "lullaya"

Lullaia or Lullaya, inscribed in cuneiform phonetically lu-ul-la-a-a, a hypocoristic name, was the 53rd king of Assyria to be added to the Assyrian King List. He was a “son of a nobody,” i.e. unrelated to a previous monarch, and reigned six years, from 1621–1616 BC ( middle chronology) or 1599–1594 BC ( short chronology), during a period when a rather diminished Assyria was overshadowed by its more powerful neighbor, the Mitanni. Reade speculates that he may be identified with the earlier king, Aššūr-dugul, on the basis of their similar lengths of reign and lack of royal parentage.
