==Character== The etymology of the name Hendursaga is uncertain. However, it is possible it was related to his functions and can be translated from Sumerian as "torch (or staff) bearer who goes in front." The word ḫendur is otherwise unattested, but it is assumed that it is related to Akkadian ḫuṭāru, a type of staff.
