Question
Igor Dyankanov posited that this language was directly preceded by a “banana” language to explain its tendency to reduplicate syllables. French orientalist Joseph Halévy posited that this language was actually an unspoken priestly cryptographic system in an attempt to assign it a Semitic origin. A theory positing that the gala priests were eunuchs stems from their usage of this language’s feminine dialect. The status of this language as an isolate is central to its namesake (*) “problem,” a solution to which suggests that its first speakers assimilated with the Ubaids after they fled rising sea levels. This language, containing eme-gir and eme-sal dialects, was spoken by the Gutian kings of Lagash and the kings of Eridu. For 10 points, Akkadian gradually supplanted what language spoken in Ur? ■END■
