'good', to which was added the Indic suffix -ka-, followed by the Hurrian suffix -nni. == Location == The precise location of Waššukanni is unknown with most suggestions being in the general area defined by the Khabur River, a tributary of the Euphrates River, and the Jaghjagh River in the upper Jezirah of Syria.
