Shutu

Shutu (/ˈʃuːtuː/ or Sutu /ˈsuːtuː/) is the name given in ancient Akkadian language sources to certain nomadic groups of the Transjordanian highlands, extending deep into Mesopotamia and Southern Iraq. Some scholars have speculated that "Shutu" may be a variant of the Egyptian term Shasu.[1]

An Egyptian execration text of the 17th century BCE refers to an "Ayyab" (possibly a variant form of the name Job) as king of the Shutu. Some scholars have tenuously identified the Shutu as the progenitors of the Moabites and Ammonites.[1]
