Igalim
Igalim (Sumerian: ð’€ð’……ð’„‹) or Igalimma (Sumerian: ð’€ð’……ð’„‹ð’ˆ ) was a Mesopotamian god from the local pantheon of the state of Lagash. He was closely associated with Ningirsu, possibly originating as the personification of the door of his temple, and was regarded as a member of his family. His older brother was Shulshaga and his mother was Bau, as already attested in Early Dynastic sources. Until the end of the Ur III period he was worshiped in Lagash and Girsu, where he had a temple, though he also appears in a number of later texts.
