[1] Longer forms of the name, such as Mammītu, with the exception of a single passage from the Epic of Gilgamesh were never used to refer to Mami or any analogous deity.
[6] The goddess Mammītu who is responsible for the declaration of destiny alongside "Anunnaku, the great gods" in this composition (tablet X, lines 319–322) is commonly identified as Mami rather than Mammitum by modern translators.
[7] The opposite approach was common in early editions, but Rim Nurullin points out that the parallel passage in Atrahasis confirms that this interpretation is incorrect.
[6] It has been suggested that like in the case of Mami, Mamitu's name goes back to a lallwort for mother, though it is also possible that might instead derive from the terms "oath" or "frost" (Akkadian mammû; also "ice").
[1] Douglas Frayne has proposed that in Tell al-Wilayah in the Ur III period Mamitu was regarded as the spouse of the local god Aški, who he interprets as an early form of Ḫuškia (later attested as a byname of Nergal; An = Anum, tablet VI line 5), as opposed to an alternate writing of Ashgi as sometimes suggested.
[1] According to Marcos Such-Gutiérrez, it can be presumed that Mamitu appears in two names from Adab from between the Old Akkadian and Ur III periods, as the theophoric element is spelled as ma-mi-tum in this case.
[27] In a new year ritual from this city which according to Wilfred G. Lambert predates the reign of Nebuchadnezzar I and the rise of Marduk to the position of the head of the Mesopotamian pantheon which enumerates deities arriving in the akitu building, Mamitu is listed as one of the deities from Kutha alongside Nergal and Laṣ, next to Marduk, Zarpanitu and members of the pantheons of Kish (Zababa and Bau) and Borsippa (Nabu, Nanaya and Sutītu).
[14] It is possible that due to the cult of Mamitu retaining a degree of importance in both Babylon and Kutha in late periods, she came to be incorporated into Mandaean tradition.
[27][b] Christa Müller-Kessler and Karlheinz Kessler propose that Mamitu corresponds to Amamit (ˀmˀmyt, less commonly mˀmyt), who is attested as a demon in the fifth book of the Ginzā Yamina.
