In Hurrian offering lists (kaluti [de]), Uršui appears as a member of the circle of either Ḫepat or Šauška.
[2] Emmanuel Laroche suggested in 1946 that it can be interpreted as a combination of the Hurrian elements ur-, "to be available", and šui, "all", but this proposal is no longer regarded as plausible.
[1] Alfonso Archi suggests that Iškalli is derived from the Akkadian word ešgallu, literally "great temple" but metaphorically also "underworld", and speculatively translates Uršui-Iškalli as "the great temple (of the nether world deities) of the city of Uršu", though he notes this meaning was presumably eventually forgotten in Hurrian tradition.
[12] The text CTH 714, which describes a ritual bath of a statue of Šauška,[13] mentions Uršui in an enumeration of deities who receive an offering of unleavened bread, after Tarru, Takitu, Ea, Damkina, Aya, Šimige, the "paternal deities of Šauška and of the ritual patron", Allani, Išḫara, Umbu and Nikkal.
[1] This celebration, which was focused on guaranteeing the prosperity of the royal family, originated in Kizzuwatna, involved deities from the local Hurrian pantheon (such as Išḫara, Allani, Nupatik, Maliya, Lelluri and Manuzi) and was introduced to Hattusa by queen Puduḫepa.
