She is said to regard Gudea with special favor.

She determines destinies.

Another king, Ur-Nina, embodies the name of the goddess in his own, and devotes himself to the enlargement of her temple.

From the manner in which she is associated with Nin-girsu, aiding the latter in guarding his temple E-ninnu, and uniting with the god in granting the sceptre to Gudea, one is tempted to conclude that the two towns, Girsu and Nina, were amalgamated before their absorption into Lagash, so that the god and goddess acquired the relationship to one another of husband and consort.

As for the connection between this Babylonian Nina and the late Assyrian capital, it is quite possible that the origin of the latter is to be traced to a settlement made by inhabitants of the former, although it should be added that there is no positive evidence that can be adduced in support of this proposition.
