The story forms part of a stock of traditions of which we have another specimen in the Eabani-Ukhat episode, incorporated in the Gilgamesh epic.
Eabani clings to her, as Adam does to Eve after she 'is brought' to him. Ukhat becomes Eabani's 'companion, just as Eve becomes the 'helpmate' of Adam.

Had the epic originated in Babylon or Nippur, Eabani and Ukhat would have been brought to Babylon or Nippur.
