Thanks for this. It’s an intriguing subject. I’ve found the fictional book series Chronicles of the Nephilim by Brian Godowa to be a really helpful resource on this topic and a way to understand how the reoccurrence of these creatures ultimately is part of the repeating pattern that relates to the ‘seed of the serpent vs the seed of the woman’ from Genesis 3:15. Although it is biblical fiction, he uses his book appendices to explore the research at an academic level.
Do you look into the word Anak itself?
Remember that Anak is a proper Noun. Hebrew only has consonant symbols, though some double as vowels.
The Hebrew writing system, comes from Proto-Canaanite, which comes from Proto-Sinaitic.
The name Anak ends in a Hebrew Qop.
The Proto-Canaanite Qop looks a lot like the Proto-Sinaitic Waw, which can act as final /u/.
If you do the switch, then Anak becomes Anu, the name of a principle character in the Sumerian creation myth.
