Iršappa

Iršappa or Aršappa, the Hurrian god of trade, as his epithet tamkaraši "of trade" shows. He is named in the kaluti victim lists after the war god Ḫešui and before Tenu , the vizier of the weather god Teššub . It is possible that he is depicted in the Hittite rock sanctuary Yazılıkaya (relief 25). His name is derived from the Semitic god Rašap .
