Etaoin,
Thank you for the welcome back, I so apologize for having been absent for such a long period of time. There have been several events with in my life of late.
In answer to your question of where I got the information on the meaning of my name.
After waiting for over a year for the universities and two study groups to get off of their proverbial back sides and actually do what they were telling me they had done and get back with me, I decided to see if I could find any information once again on the internet on my own, but this was all to no avail.
Then it dawned on me, why not contact the web-masters of say the Sumerian Lexicon and Dictionary?
Thus I did, speaking with John A. Halloran. With in a matter of minutes he responded to my query based upon my name. At first he thought it was a combination of Sumerian and what is known as Akkadian which corresponds to the Hebrew language, unfortunately he was looking at ilanu and not ilani which is Sumerian.
It was in a second e-mail following shortly on the heals of the first that I was given the meaning of ilani thus having the full meaning of my name for the first time in my life.
Blessings,
