In the myth, Enki and Ninmah, they give a list of the birth goddesses in which enki creates. Among the list, there is the name SHAR.SHAR.GABA, do we know the name outside the logograms?

Ninurta2008: Benito's 1969 dissertation was a treatment of Enki and Nimah and a few other myths- it is well done but his note on line 35, which gives " dŠAR.ŠAR.GABA" is a little vague. He states "dŠAR.ŠAR.GABA is unkown to me." Jacobsen at some point treated the name however he read the signs as 'dududuh' and gives the name a meaning "the one of opens the one giving birth". One has to doubt that the same meaning would apply if the signs were read as they are at ETCSL. Hence, I'm not sure at the moment. I will try and remember to ask Frayne, he should have an answer of some sort as he is almost finished putting together a new dictionary on ANE gods.  |
