ENT_URA_ARUBANI Arubani   Urartian goddess / consort of Khaldi Love Deity arts; beauty; love; fertility; female divine power       B           Goddess associated with Khaldi in Urartian inscriptions; likely his divine consort. Arubani appears in dedicatory texts as "the deity of Khaldi" and is associated with the feminine complement to his war and sovereignty functions — arts, beauty, and fertility. Some scholars identify her as the Urartian reception of the Hurrian Shaushka tradition: Shaushka (the Hurrian love/war goddess, related to Mesopotamian Ishtar/Inanna) is the consort of Teshub in Hurrian theology, and if Teisheba = Teshub and Khaldi occupies the Teshub-equivalent supreme position in Urartian theology, then Arubani as Khaldi's consort would correspond to Shaushka. The identification is plausible but the surviving evidence is thinner than for the three primary triad members. Confidence B: she is attested in Urartian inscriptions but her functions and mythological role are not as fully documented as Khaldi, Teisheba, or Shivini.
