metadata.name: dc.description.abstract
metadata.value: The article deals with 5 Sumerian cuneiform texts from the city of Lagash, compiled during
  the era of the kings of Lugalanda and Urukagina (second half of the 24th century BC). The texts
  contain a list of rations intended for a group of persons, which is written with the cuneiform
  signs LU2.SU.A. The electronic dictionary of the Sumerian language brought these texts to
  the article su-a “wild cat”. Previously, the researchers believed that this group of people is
  among the acquaintances of the royal family. It was established on the basis of genealogical
  explorations that among the LU2.
  SU.A there were close relatives of the king’s and queen’s
  family. The hypothesis of reading the combination of signs as “people of the flesh” is suggested.
  It means that this group of people included only those who belonged to the governor’s clan.
  They figured first in the lists of rations. The author of the article notes that such a group of
  people appeared only under Lugalanda, which is connected with the subordination of the
  Bau temple to the royal family. It still existed in the initial era of Urukagina's rule, but later
  disappeared as a result of his reforms.
