Ninsutu

Ningirida was a Mesopotamian goddess regarded as the wife of Ninazu and mother of Ningishzida. Little is known about her character beyond her relation to these two gods.

==Name and character== The correct reading of Ningirida's name relies on the syllabic spelling from the Ur III period, dNin-gi-ri-da. According to Wilfred G. Lambert, the element girid is a Sumerian noun referring to a type of hair clasp used by women, and therefore does not provide any information about her individual character beyond her gender. In the myth Enki and Ninhursag, the name is reinterpreted as "the lady born of nose," dNin-kìri-e-tu, but this is only a folk etymology.
