Nahundi

Nahundi or Nahhundi (in Akkadian Nahhunte; Nahiti in the treaty of Naram-Sin; also written with the logogram ^dUtu) was the Elamite god of the sun. The etymology of his name isn't known, but it might be a cognate of a common Elamite word for "day", and is perhaps even homophonous with it.^[1]

Shilhak-Inshushinak called him "lord who protects" in an inscription which mentions him after Inshushinak, Kiririsha, Humban and Nannara; he also called himself "servant of Nahhundi, beloved of Inshushinak."^[2] However, few references to his temples are known, with the exception of one built as part of Untash-Napirisha's Chogha Zanbil project; he's not mentioned in known lists of disbursals to specific gods either.^[3] Theophoric names invoking him are nonetheless common, and a prominent Elamite king, Shutruk-Nahhunte, was named after this god. The wife of Shilhak-Inshushinak was named Nahhunte-utu.^[4]

It's possible that in some contexts Nahhundi was a god of legal matters like Shamash in Mesopotamia.He was however never equated with him in god lists; in An-Anum he instead appears as part of a group called "Divine seven of Elam." A single Mesopotamian text erroneously identified Nahhundi as a moon god and the equivalent of Nanna, and the goddess Narunde as a sun god.^[5]
