Gingira

Gingira (also Gingiri, Gurgiru, Egengir) is an Akkadian word for Goddess or female Creator, being the feminine of Dingir which means Creator. It can used to refer to Ishtar or any other Creator Goddess. In ancient Babylonia, each city had its own Gingira.

Places of worship

Gingiri was worshipped at the port of Eridu, where she later became known as Davki or Davkina.


gollark: I'm thinking it could include actual formatting, Unicode, headers, that sort of thing. As well as possibly decent autogen scripts allowing each sentence to be given its own header saying "Section 1, Clause 8" or something, and maybe even JS to dynamically edit the text a bit as you scroll.
gollark: The current potatOS privacy policy viewer thing is literally just `edit`, and mostly quite bad, so I was thinking it might be a good idea to have it open in the browser instead.

gollark: nvidia bad
