Urnunta-ea

[3] A further variant known from a fragment of an Old Babylonian litany from Kish describing the pantheon of Kesh or Adab, as well as from a single Neo-Babylonian (or later) copy of the god list An = Anum, dbur-nun-ta-è-a, reflects the reinterpretation of the name as "she [came forth] from the Euphrates".

[7] Structurally similar theonyms include Meslamta-ea, Šaturnunta'e and Nu-E2.NUN-ta-e.[8][a] As early as during the reign of Urukagina, Urnunta-ea was regarded as a child of Bau and Ningirsu.

[7] In the composition preserved on the Gudea cylinders, she and Zazaru, Nipa'e, Ḫegirnuna, Ḫesaga, Zurmu and Zarmu are jointly addressed as daughters and "unruly children" of Bau and Ningirsu and as the lukur (high-ranking female attendants) of the latter.

[1] Gebhard J. Selz [de] notes that Ḫegirnuna seemingly was originally an independent deity of greater importance than the other six, and on this basis assumes that initially only Urnunta-ea, Zazaru and Nipa'e, who also occur together in an earlier inscription, formed a group defined by their shared status as daughters of Bau.

[7] According to Ryan D. Winters this most likely reflects a degree of overlap or interchange between the circles of deities associated with Bau and these belonging to the local pantheon of Kesh, one of Lisin's cult centers.
