[3] Jeremiah Peterson notes that an Old Babylonian exemplar of the Weidner god list appears to preserve a variant spelling, dU.GU2, which supports the reading Ugur.
[10] In Hittite sources the logogram dU.GUR could represent Šulinkatte,[6] a war god of Hattian origin described as having the appearance of a young man.
[5] However, it has been argued that it might instead be an unrelated theonym related to the term gur, "to (let) return", or to Ugurara, "howling storm", attested in later sources as a standard epithet of Ishkur.
[19] An Old Assyrian text from the archive of Šalim-Aššur discovered in Kanesh presumed to be the inventory of a privately maintained chapel mentions "2 hawiru for/of salt, 1 cup of silver and a perfume-flask" placed in front of a representation of Ugur.
[3] It is possible that the deities listed in this fragment were the family gods of one of the inhabitants of the city, though this remains impossible to verify with certainty.
[20] The Canonical Temple List, which most likely was originally composed in the second half of the Kassite period,[21] preserves the ceremonial names of a number of houses of worship dedicated to Ugur, including Emeslamnigurru, "Emeslam which is clad in terror"[22][b] and Esulim-Enlile ("house of the awesome radiance of Enlil") in Girsu,[24] and a temple in Isin whose name is lost.
[32] In the Yazılıkaya sanctuary, which was dedicated to deities originally belonging to the western Hurrian pantheon of Kizzuwatna and northern Syria,[33] Ugur might be depicted in chamber B, on a relief showing a figure in the form of a sword with a hilt shaped like a human head and four lions.
[35] Piotr Taracha [de] proposes that figure number 27 from the procession relief from chamber A of the same site, placed between a pair of bull-men separating earth and heaven and the mountain god Pišaišapḫi, also might be Ugur.
[36] Ugur was one of the deities celebrated in the ḫišuwa [de] festival which originated in Kizzuwatna[37] and was introduced to the Hittite Empire by queen Puduḫepa.
[34] Anatolian locations where Ugur was worshiped include Hattusa, where priests in his service are attested,[6] and Kaitana, where a festival dedicated to him took place.
[39] In Emar a god whose name was written with the logogram dU.GUR appears in rituals alongside Shuwala, a Hurrian goddess connected with the underworld.
[40] While no evidence for the existence of a temple dedicated to dU.GUR in Emar is available,[43] he is mentioned in instructions for the kissu festival of Dagan,[44] which most likely took place in Šatappi, a settlement possibly located further south.
[44] The precise meaning of the term kissu remains uncertain, making the nature of these celebrations, and roles of specific deities in them, difficult to ascertain.
