Anunna reminds one forcibly of the god Anu and of the goddess Anunit, and the element ak is quite a common afformative in Babylonian substantives, conveying a certain emphatic meaning to the word.
This is a standing phrase in the inscriptions of Nebuchadnezzar, as well as of other kings. See Delitzsch, Assyr. Handwörterbuch, p. 270b. Deut. xii. 18; xvi. 14, etc. See pp. 462, 463. See ib. Or zag-mu. Gudea, Inscription G, col. iii. In the later inscriptions we find zag-mu-ku. The k or ku appears to be an afformative. See Amlaud, Zeits. f. Assyr. iii. 41.
From other sources we know that Dagan was worshipped in Palestine as early as the fourteenth or fifteenth century, and the form Dagan, if derived from Dag, contains an afformative element which stamps the word as non-Assyrian.
