2432	ENT_EGY_NUN	aligned_with	ENT_MES_NAMMU	medium	Nun (Egyptian primordial watery abyss) and Nammu (Sumerian primordial sea-goddess, "the mother who gave birth to heaven and earth," Atrahasis Prologue; Enki and Ninhursag) are structurally parallel as the primordial undifferentiated water from which creation emerges and from which the creator deity is born. The parallel is noted in standard works on comparative ancient Near Eastern cosmogony. Key difference: Nun is gendered male; Nammu is gendered female (the Great Mother of Sumerian theology). Despite the gender inversion, both serve as the primordial creative matrix — the undifferentiated watery whole that precedes and enables creation. Confidence medium: independently developed traditions; structural parallel without direct historical connection. Pinch (2002) pp. 167-168.	SRC_PINCH_EGYPTIAN_MYTH	reviewed	PER_EGY_OLD_KINGDOM
