Most likely, it means something like "sharp," "violent," or "dangerous." This could refer to a lion hide with the head and teeth intact, perhaps as a symbol of office -- or a live lion trained as a temple guardian.

Another possibility is that it was given as a divine symbol, because the lion is associated with Inanna.
