Elkunirša is a Hittite version of El qône ereṣ [he], known from ʾAzatiwada inscrioption, Genesis 14:19 and other Canaanite and Aramaic instances.
[5][8][9] The surviving part of the myth opens with a figure delivering Ašertu's threatens to Baʿal, that if he doesn't sleep with her, she will hurt him.
Elkunirša asks him why he came, and he reported him that Ašertu, his wife, sent young women who delivered him her proposition to sleep with him, that he declined her, and that she threatened him.
it is possible that the Hittite translator confused the two meanings of the West Semitic word kôs: a cup and a species of owls.
Elkunirša and his wife went to sleep together, and ʿAnat/ʿAštart flew like a bird over the desert, and warned Baʿal not to drink wine with Ašertu.
[16][7] The god Dku-ni-ir-ša, varient of Elkunirša, is mentioned in a damaged context in a Hittite ritual text.
