Anum "Anuum": Akkadian/Sumerian/Babylonian Assyrian.
Noun. Name of the Anunnaki's god Anu.
*An in Sumerian.
*An in Akkadian.
*An in Chaldean.
*Anu in Egyptian.
*Also Anu in ancient Assyrian.
Anum was the creator of the gods, including the peoples of the earth, but over time (3000-2500 B.C.) Anum lost his privileged position to his son Enlil.
His main temple was in Uruk, where he was worshipped as god of that city.
Later on, his daughter Inanna became a co-god of Uruk. Anum mated with the goddesses Ki and Nammu. His union with them gave birth to the gods.
In Sumerian, "An" means:
* Sky.
* High.
The word "An" was commonly used by Hurrians, Phoenicians, Elamites, Subarians, Sumerians, Akkadians, Medes, and Kasites.
Apkalu: Ancient Assyrian/Sumerian. Noun.
Name of the wise man who was sent to Earth by god Ea to teach mankind wisdom and knowledge. Babylonian mythology history tells us that there were seven Apkallu who lived on Earth since its creation, and the beginning of time. These sage men are depicted as human beings with wings. Some have an eagle head; others don't have wings and appear dressed in a sea-fish skin. Some were poets and writers who composed the epics of Erra and Gilgamesh, others were ministers to the god Ea.

Arratu: Akkadian/Ancient Assyrian. Noun. A curse.

"And the beginning of his kingdom was Babel, and Erech, and Akkad, and Calneh, in the land of Shinar. Out of that land went forth Asshur, and built Nineveh, and the city Rehoboth, and Calah, And Resen between Nineveh and Calah: The same is a great city."- Genesis 10:10-12 .
"For through the voice of the Lord Assyria will be beaten down, As He strikes with the rod."-Isaiah 30:31.
"And He will stretch out His hand against the north, Destroy Assyria, And make Nineveh a desolation, As dry as the wilderness."-Zephaniah 2:13.
"He shall pass through the sea with affliction, And strike the waves of the sea: All the depths of the River shall dry up. Then the pride of Assyria shall be brought down, and the scepter of Egypt shall depart."-Zechariah 10:11.
His temple called E-Kharsg-Kurkurra in Ashur was one of the wonders of Assyrian architecture.
