So did it thrive in pre-Akkadian Sumer or during? Akkadian clay tablet has been found.

Both. Also, the Akkadians were thoroughly a part of Sumer long before Sargon, and the first bilingual documents date a few centuries before him as well.

Incidentally, Ningirsu, the tutelary deity of Girsu, had a talking mace called Shar-ur, meaning "Smasher of thousands". :D Not related to anything, just think it's great.
