Jensen would add Etana to the list of gods of vegetation who form part of Allatu's court. While the etymology he proposes for the name is not acceptable, there is no doubt that to Etana, like Gilgamesh, the character of a solar deity has been imparted. His presence in the nether world is due to the story of his flight with the eagle and the fall.
It is more plausible that a god like Nin-azu was understood under 'the god of the great city. Besides these gods, there is another series of beings who belong to Allatu's court, the demons who are directly responsible for death in the world. Of this series, Namtar is the chief and the representative.
Probably, Lakhmu and Lakhamu were also regarded, at least by the theologians, as part of Allatu's court, just as Alala and Belili were so regarded.
