In Mesopotamian Religion, the city goddess of Adab and of Kish.

Worshiped especially by the herders of northern Mesopotamia, she was the goddess of the stony, rocky ground, and she had the power to produce wildlife in the foothills and in the desert. A mother figure, she was the goddess of birth; she also appeared as a sorrowing mother in her lament for her son, a young colt. Her husband was the god Shulpae, and among their children was Mululil, a dying god whose death was mourned in yearly rites.
