The rivalry between powers of Irak ( Eridu, Uruk, Sumer Akkad Babylon ) and Iran ( Ray Susa Anshan Jiroft )
swang back and forth like a pendulum:
At the beginning and end of the Ubaid period, Iran was slightly higher developed than the alluvium, but in the Uruk period Susa II and Syrian Anatolian enclaves of Uruk reveal a clear dominance of Mesopotamian powers.
In the Jamdat Nasr period the Uruk state disintegrated into balkanized city states

Unfortunately neither Elamaite nor Harappan/Indus script currently have unicode blocks.

While the 'n' in Inshushinak does contain an 𓈖 (n), we suspect a more complicated reading, similar to EN 𒂗


The letters ta and ti in Ha-ta-m-ti seem about right given their similarity to θ, 𓊕 and duality
One might be closer to tc though.

New evidence shows that Elamite was continuously in use from proto-elamite 3200 BC to Linear Elamite 1850 BC, until it was fully replaced with the cuneiform representation of elamite and finally disappeared around 300BC. It developed as a sister system with the Sumerian language from a common ancestry of counting tablets with select logograms.

Given that Egypt had very strong ties with Elam in the 4th millennium, it is unsurprising, that many of the above words are similar in both languages.
