Poebel suggested back in 1944 that the Hebrew Shinar was possibly the
Sumerian $ingi-uri, "Sumer and Akkad", which the Sumerians used to describe

*Jim,
*I could live with the hypothesis that $IN(AR of Genesis 14:1 is no
*other than $NIR of Deuteronomy 3:9, with $NIR being a corruption of
*$EN-HAR, or $EN-HI)-HAR, 'mountain-tooth'. This $IN is also possibly
*the same as the SIN in mount SINAI and the ZIN in mount ZION.
