The Sumerian word NIN (š’ˇ¸), later borrowed into Akkadian, was used to denote a queen or a priestess, and is often translated as "lady". Other translations include "queen", "mistress", "proprietress", and "lord". The word EREÅ , also meaning "queen" or "lady", is written using the cuneiform sign for NIN as well. Many goddesses are called NIN or EREÅ , such as DNIN.GAL, DƉ.NIN.GAL, DEREÅ .KI.GAL, and DNIN.TI. The compound form NIN.DINGIR, denotes a priestess.
