Her names are of uncertain signification, except the second, Gula, which undoubtedly means "great," being so translated in the vocabularies.
"After Gula, the sailor's wife, you lured my innocent young sister, Taus, to this apartment; or am I mistaken in the order, and was Gula the second?" "So that's it!" cried Hermon, who was surprised rather than alarmed by this betrayal of his secret. "If you want confirmation of the fact, very well both were here." "Because you deluded them with false vows of love." "By no means.
That child?" exclaimed the girl, stretching her hands toward the slave in horror, as if to ward off some impending disaster. "That child, who, I think, has grown into a very charming girl and, before her, pretty Gula, the wife of Paseth, who, like your father, is away on his ship."
Before Hermon entered the boat with him and his Egyptian slave, the freedman told his master that Gula was again living in perfect harmony with the husband who had cast her off, and Taus, Ledscha's younger sister, was the wife of the young Biamite who, she had feared, would give up his wooing on account of her visit to Hermon's studio.

He listened with interest only to the story of Ledscha's disappearance, yet he perceived, from the very slight impression it made upon him, how little he had really cared for the Biamite girl. His inquiries about Gula called down upon him many well-meant jests.
A photographic reproduction of one side of the kudurru of Nazi-maruttash is shown in the accompanying illustration. There will be seen a representation of Gula or Bau, the mother of the gods, who is portrayed as seated on her throne and wearing the four-horned head-dress and a long robe that reaches to her feet.
The phase of the sun symbolized by Nin-azu is, as in the case of Tammuz and others, the sun of the springtime and of the morning. If it be recalled that Gula, the great goddess of healing, is the consort of Ninib, it will be clear that Nin-azu must be closely related to Ninib and is, indeed, identified with the latter.
