Šertapšuruḫi

In the Hittite - Hurrian song of „ edammu, Šertapšuruḫi is the daughter of the “great sea”. It's huge and like "sweet milk". The latter is perhaps a nod to the sea ​​foam . She is given for marriage to the Kumarbi , who begat the sea dragon Ḫedammu with her . The Hurrian name cannot be interpreted.
