	Ningirim is an ancient Sumerian goddess whose name has been known since the time of Fara (XXVI century B.C.) [Krebernik 1984, 233 ff.; 2000a, 363]. In divine genealogies, she is characterized ambiguously: as the daughter or sister of Enlil, as the daughter of Ninurta or Enki, as the sister of the deity of "holy water" ~~[ibid.~~ [ibid.] Among her epithets are ''bēlet šipti'' "Lady of the spell," ''bēlet tēlilti'' "Lady of purification," ''egi-zi-gal-an-na'' "Great, righteous Lady of the sky" [ibid., 241-242, 255]. Originally associated with water, fish, and the serpent deity Irhan [ibid.]. In the Old Akkadian period there was a temple dedicated to her [TCS 3, no. 19]. See also [Lambert 2013, 431-432].
