Dakitu

Dakitu also Darru-Dakitu (in Ugarit : dqt ) is a Hurrian goddess of lower rank in the retinue of the Ḫebat , whose servant she is and on whose behalf she travels through the land of Mittani . In the kaluti list of sacrifices she is mentioned before the Ḫudena and Ḫudellurra . She was also depicted in the Hittite rock sanctuary Yazılıkaya (relief 46a).

In Hurrian lists of victims from Ugarit , she is called dqt , so that her name can be put to the Semitic root dqq "small, insignificant", which goes well with her rank. Her name is spelled very inconsistently in Hittite and Hurrian texts.
