Girsu (cuneiform:?;
Sumerian:Girsu;
Akkadian:
?) is modern
Tell Telloh,
Dhi Qar Governorate,
Iraq, and it was a city of ancient
Sumer, situated some northwest of
Lagash. Because of the initial
nasal velar , the transcription of Girsu is usually spelled as
Ngirsu (also:
G~irsu,
Girsu,
Jirsu) to avoid confusion.
