Sudaĝ and related names
Sudaĝ (sud-áĝ or sù-da-áĝ), "golden yellow shine" or "golden yellow shining rock/metal", is attested as a name of Aya in multiple god lists, including An = Anum (tablet III, line 131) and its Old Babylonian forerunner. A further name present in the same source, Sudgan (tablet III, line 130), might have a similar meaning ("light", "glow"). Ninsudaĝ (nin-BU-áĝ, interpreted as nin-sud4-áĝ), attested in the Early Dynastic god list from Fara and possibly in the Old Babylonian god list from Mari, might be a further variant of the name, though the reading is ultimately uncertain in this case.
