Washukanni

Washukanni (or Waššukanni) was the capital of the Hurrian kingdom of Mitanni, from c. 1500 BC to the 13th century BC. The name may translate to "source of good" or "source of wealth" which is similar to the Kurdish word 'bashkani', 'bash' meaning good and 'kanî' meaning 'well' or 'source'. Its precise location is unknown. A proposal that locates it under the so-far unexcavated mound of Tell el Fakhariya, near Tell Halaf in Syria, is rejected by Edward Lipinski.
