2356 Arubani ENT_URA_ARUBANI spouse_of Khaldi ENT_URA_KHALDI medium Arubani is designated "the deity of Khaldi" in Urartian inscriptions and is associated with him as his divine consort. The pairing mirrors the broader Hurrian theological pattern where the supreme deity (Teshub) has a consort (Hepat). Confidence medium: the spousal relationship is inferred from the inscriptional association rather than being explicitly stated as marriage in the surviving Urartian texts.

2357 Arubani ENT_URA_ARUBANI aligned_with Shaushka ENT_HTT_SHAUSHKA medium Arubani and Hurrian/Hittite Shaushka are structurally parallel: both are the goddess associated with the supreme storm/war deity (Arubani with Khaldi; Shaushka as consort of Teshub), both are love/arts/fertility deities complementing their consort's war function. If Teisheba = Teshub through Hurro-Urartian inheritance, then Arubani as Khaldi's consort plausibly inherits the Shaushka role. Confidence medium: the comparison is structurally sound but the surviving evidence for Arubani's precise functions is thin. Zimansky (1985) p. 72. Paul E.
