1A. MUM.MU2 (APSU1) {aka Chaos, Moymis} MUM.MU was the closest entity to AP.SU, apart from TIAMAT, being the firstborn son created when the waters of AP.SU and TIAMAT mingled. Associated by the ancients to the planet, Mercury, MUM.MU was considered the 'emissary of AP.SU.' He is sometimes refered to as the 'god of mists.'

1B. LAH.MU2 (APSU1) {aka Lakhmu, Lachmu, Lache, the hairy or muddy one } LAH.MU and his sister, LAHA.MU, were born together. Their names derive from the root, LHM (to wage war). LAH.MU (aka Deity of war) was associated with the planet, Mars.

1C. LAHA.MU2 (APSU1) {aka Lakhamu, Lacham, Lachos} LAHA.MU (aka Lady Of Battles) was associated with the planet, Venus.

1D. AN.SHAR2 (APSU1) {aka Sar, Assorus, Ashur, Asshur, Ashir, The Upper Expanse, Foremost Of The Heavens} AN.SHAR and his sister KI.SHAR, were born together. AN.SHAR was associated with the planet, Saturn and also with the Polar, or North Star, which was named Ilu Sar or "star of the height". AN.SHAR was equated with Ashur, the national god of Syria beginning in the Ninth Century B.C. AN.SHAR embodied the male principle.

1E. KI.SHAR2 (APSU1) {aka Kisar, Kissare, The Lower Expanse, Foremost of firm lands} was associated with the planet, Jupiter. KI.SHAR embodied the female principle.
