[4] Manfred Krebernik [de] suggests that the alternate writings were the result of confusion with the brick god Kulla and with the toponym Kullaba.
[2] In early scholarship, attempts were made to prove the theonym Ukulla was derived from Sumerian u3-gul (utnēnu, "prayer"), an element of the compound verb u3-gul ga2-ga2.
"[2] In a late hymn dedicated to Bau, KAR 109, she is described as "Ukulla, who creates meadows, who surveys the universe" (dÚ-kul-la ba-nit re-i-ti ḫa-i-ṭa-at kul-la-ti), which appears to be an attempt at providing her name with an explanatory scholarly etymology.
[6] Frans Wiggermann identifies two instances where she instead occurs as the wife of Ninazu, one of them in an Old Babylonian god list and the other in a single late text.
[6] Irene Sibbing-Plantholt in a more recent publication argues there is only one text attesting the existence of such a tradition, an Old Babylonian balag song from Me-Turan.
[12] The kings of Eshunna were involved in her cult, as evidenced by her presence in their year names and the offerings of oil and beer made on behalf of the royal palace.
