Nusku (also thing Irish - Šadibdib or DINGIRUmun - Šazedib ) is a Sumerian god. Nusku was originally the son of the god Enlil and was his companion and messenger. In Akkadian texts is Girra / Gibil, son of Anu, the god of fire and light. His wife is SALAS. One of his symbols was the oil lamp. He was a partner of Šamaš and was equated in Neo-Assyrian period, the son of the main god Sin with Nusku of Harran.
