Etymology
Duranki is a Sumerian compound word made up of three composite words: Dur (meaning "link", or "bond"), An (meaning "Heaven", or "skies"), and Ki (meaning "Earth"); thus, it translates to "link between Heaven and Earth". Duranki is a term for the Sumerian people themselves, affirming the intimate relationship between them and their pantheon of gods.
