According to my little dabble of research, that's what both words translate to in English (color me confused about Sumerian as a language, btw....those do not look like the same words at all to me :P) but I think having Scott say "Scorpion Men" right after Kira described the creature would have been redundant and it wouldn't have expanded on the creature in any way -- whereas Scott stating that the creature comes from Sumerian mythology did expand what we knew about it.
