So Ashurbanabal, describing the prosperity existing in his days, says that grain was abundant through the 'increase of Nisaba.'[102] KU( ?)-Anna.
A goddess of this name--reading of the first sign doubtful--is mentioned by Ur-Bau, who builds a temple to her in Girsu.

If Amiaud is correct in his reading of the first sign, the goddess was identified at one time by the Babylonians with the consort of Ramman--the storm-god.

This would accord with the description that Ur-Bau gives of the goddess.

She is the one who deluges the land with water--belonging therefore to the same order as Bau.
In a list of deities enumerated by a ruler of Erech, Lugal-zaggisi,[103] are found (1) a local goddess, Umu, designated as the 'priestess of Uruk,'[104] and occupying an inferior rank to (2) a goddess, Nin-akha-kuddu,[105] who is called 'the mistress of Uruk.' The importance of Erech in the early history of Babylonia is emphasized by the inscriptions from Nippur, recently published by Dr.Hilprecht.It is natural, therefore, to find several deities of a purely local type commemorated by kings who belong to this region.

The goddess Umu is not heard of again.
