I've ran across a point in a Gerard Gertoux article
books.google.cz/books?id=zV3TCgAAQBAJ&pg=PA29&lpg=PA29&dq=%22Ea%22+%22Mami%22+Utnapishti+%2214%22&source=bl&ots=ufWdNAe0MP&sig=39P4v9XhsmWqdfLTnEfM3RAPtKA&hl=en&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwif08SdhOnZAhXC6qQKHVLiBeIQ6AEIKzAA#v=onepage&q=%22Ea%22%20%22Mami%22%20Utnapishti%20%2214%22&f=false
Which claims that in the Epic of Gilgamesh after the flood, Mami and Ea create 14 beings in order to help repopulate the Earth. Having read the more easily available online versions of the Epic, I have not been able to run across any more recently compiled fuller renditions of the story, beyond a newer fragment that mentions monkeys in Humbaba's forest and Enkidu crossdressing. I would like to know if this is an actual thing in any of the texts or traditions, since my searching only links me back to Gertoux.
