NANNA
dNANNA (𒀭𒋀𒆠) is the most common, standard, Sumerian name for the Moon-god = Akkadian Sin. The name is also used as a loan-word in Akkadian, occasionally with a final consonant 'r' as with dNannaru in Enūma Eliš, V 12 where Marduk places the Moon-god in the sky and commands him to show the lunar phases each month.
