From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:

  Shoa
     opulent, the mountain district lying to the north-east of
     Babylonia, anciently the land of the Guti, or Kuti, the modern
     Kurdistan. The plain lying between these mountains and the
     Tigris was called su-Edina, i.e., "the border of the plain."
     This name was sometimes shortened into Suti and Su, and has been


     regarded as = Shoa (Ezek. 23:23). Some think it denotes a place
     in Babylon. (See {PEKOD}.)
