ENT_ELAM_NAPIR Napir   Elamite God Astral deity moon; night sky; protection of the gods   regional   B candidate_verified_name Early-antiquity fringe completion (v1.67.0) 0 0 0 A minor Elamite deity attested in the Neo-Elamite inscription of Hanni of Ayapir (EKI 75, epithet "the favorite") and among the clergy under Tepti-Huban-Inshushinak. The name element nap means simply "god"; a lunar identification (German handbook tradition, Haas/Koch) is one reading but NOT consensus (Vallat, Henkelman). NOTE: distinct from the supreme Anshanite god Napirisha — the king Untash-Napirisha and the Tchoga Zanbil high temple belong to Napirisha, not Napir. deity
