She is naught but a weak reflection of Bel, as in general the consorts of the gods are.

Another title by which this same goddess was known is Nin-khar-sag.[27] which means the 'lady of the high or great mountain.' The title may have some reference to the great mountain where the gods were supposed to dwell, and which was known to Babylonians as the 'mountain of the lands.' Bel, as the chief of the gods, is more particularly associated with this mountain.

Hence his temple is called the 'mountain house.' From being regarded as the inhabitant of the mountain, he comes to be identified with the mountain itself.

Accordingly, he is sometimes addressed as the "great mountain,"[28] and his consort would therefore be appropriately termed 'the lady of the great mountain.' Besides the temple at Nippur, Belit, as Nin-khar-sag, had a sanctuary at Girsu, one of the quarters at Lagash (see under Nin-girsu), the earliest mention of which occurs on an inscription of Ur-Bau.

The latter calls the goddess 'the mother of the gods,' which further establishes her identity with the consort of Bel.
