Amasagnudi
Amasagnudi was a Mesopotamian goddess regarded as the wife of Papsukkal in the god list An-Anum[1] and in sources from Seleucid Uruk.[2][3] Her name means "mother who cannot be pushed aside."[4] She was also known as Ninkagal, "lady of the gate."[2]
Amasagnudi was occasionally equated with Ninshubur, and like her was regarded as the sukkal (servant deity) of Anu according to a single Old Babylonian document.[2]
In late documents, Papsukkal and Amasagnudi are jointly listed on the 9th place in lists arranging the gods of Uruk according to perceived theological importance.[5]
