[2] However, Armando Bramanti more recently concluded that this spelling is uncommon, and does not necessarily represent the same word as the sign PA on its own usually does, which makes ĝidru the most plausible option in most cases.
[8] The Reallexikon der Assyriologie und Vorderasiatischen Archäologie entry written by Cavigneaux and Krebernik considers Ninĝidru to be female,[2] and this assumption is also accepted by other authors.
[5] In sources such as a coronation ritual from Uruk and many offering lists from the Ur III period Ninĝidru appears alongside Ninmena, a goddess regarded as the deification of the crown.
[10] Ninĝidru is also mentioned alongside Sud in a fragment of an inscription from Shuruppak from the Sargonic period,[1] in which a nameless ensi of this city dedicates a statue for the life of Rimush.
[11] Jeremiah Peterson notes the association between these two goddesses and Ninĝidru's specific role within the court of Sud might both go back to a very early period of Mesopotamian history.
[13] Ninĝidru is absent from the god list An = Anum, though in a similar Old Babylonian text regarded as its forerunner she appears near the end of the section dedicated to Enlil.
