of Ninshubur. References to Amasagnudi from before the Seleucid period are incredibly rare, and according to Paul-Alain Beaulieu as of 1992 known examples were limited to the god list An = Anum and a single lexical text. More recent research revealed a further occurrence of Amasagnudi in the second millennium BCE in an Akkadian incantation against Lamashtu known from a copy from Ugarit, in which she appears alongside Papsukkal. The god list An = Anum in a section dedicated to Papsukkal lists five daughters: Pappap, Hedu, Ninhedu, Ninkita and Mišaga. PAP.PAP, written without a "divine determinative" sign, is first attested as a name or title of queen Baranamtara, wife of Lugalanda, and it is not impossible that the name of the daughter of Papsukkal was derived from it. The primary meaning of the name Hedu and the element hedu in Ninhedu was "may it befit," but it was latter reinterpreted as a homophonous word meaning "architrave," possibly because the alternate name of Papsukkal's wife Amasagnudi was Ninkagal, "lady of the gate." Ninkita's name possibly means "lady of the doorstep." Frans Wiggermann notes that while the section dedicated to them uses the name Ninshubur to refer to their father, there is no evidence they were ever regarded as the daughters of the older female version of Ninshubur attested as the sukkal of Inanna in the third millennium BCE. Papsukkal and other messenger deities While Papsukkal's origin was distinct from both Ninshubur's and Ilabrat's, he came to be identified with both of them, as well as with Kakka. However, the conflation of Ninshubur and Papsukkal was only finalized in the Seleucid period in Uruk. The earlier Weidner god list does not equate Papsukkal with Ninshubur, and instead places him next to Zababa and Ilaba. The god list An = Anu ša amēli explains the syncretism between them in following terms: dnin-šubur = dpap-sukkal ša da-nim, "Ninshubur is Papsukkal when Anu is concerned." The late syncretic Papsukkal was not regarded as the sukkal of Anu and Ishtar like Ninshubur, but rather of Anu and his wife Antu. He also takes Ninshubur's role in an Akkadian adaptation of Inanna's Descent, but unlike her he is not directly designated as Ishtar's personal servant, and the text states that he serves "the great gods" as a group. A god list from Emar identifies Papsukkal with the Hurrian sukkal Tašmišu. Worship Oldest evidence for the worship of
