A.GI<sub>7</sub> (𒀀𒂠) = ''mâru rubû'', ‘the Noble Son,’ a Mesopotamian epithet of the Moon-god Nanna-Sin. [Gössmann<ref>''Gössmann P.F''. Planetarium Babylonicum, Rom, 1950 (A. Deimel. Šumerisches Lexikon 4/2).</ref> 13; Litke<ref>''Litke R.L''. A Reconstruction of the Assyro-Babylonian God-Lists, AN:dA-nu-um and AN:Anu ša2 amēli.

GI<sub>7</sub> is a read for the sign KU, which in this case allows for play between the Sumerian A.GI<sub>7</sub> and Akkadian ''agû'', 'crown,' an appellative of the Full Moon.
