[6] She also appears in this role in the composition Angim,[1] where the eponymous god meets with her in his temple Ešumeša after presenting his battle trophies to his parents Enlil and Ninlil in the Ekur, and at her request blesses a king[7] who is left unnamed.
[11] Ninnibru was also associated with Ninimma, though according to Joan Goodnick Westenholz in this case the connection reflected the latter goddess' role as Ninurta's sister, rather than wife.
[1] She is also absent from the Old Babylonian Nippur god list, which according to Manuel Ceccarelli might indicate its compilers adhered to the view that Ninurta's spouse is to be identified as one of the Mesopotamian medicine goddesses instead.
[14] In the Ur III period, Ninnibru sporadically occurs in sources from Nippur itself, as well as in a large number of offering lists from Puzrish-Dagan focused on Nippurian deities.
[20] While it was considered uncertain in the past if Ninnibru was still worshiped during the reign of the Kassite dynasty,[21] according to Joan Goodnick Westenholz she is attested in prayers and seal inscriptions documenting the popular religion of this period.
[23] A late reference to her occurs in a hymn to Nanaya written in first person, in which the latter identifies herself with various city goddesses, which was presumably meant to exalt her position in the Mesopotamian pantheon.
