Patiently waiting for hazy summer evenings
“Lilith’s name is etymologically related to the Sumerian word ‘lil’ (wind), not to the Hebrew word ‘laylah’ (night), as was long supposed; it is also translated as wind-storm and screech owl. Among her many names: Astarte, Lamashtu, Labartu, Lillake, Lilit, Lilithu, Mahalat, Abyzu, Ailo, Ardat Lili, Broxa, Gelou, Lalla, Ptrotk, Ostara or Eostre (the Goddess of Easter lilies), Belit-Ili, Belili and Baalat (‘Divine Lady’ to the Caananites.) Though some also confuse her with Lilu, the lilu-demons were actually male. By the same token, though Lilith is frequently accused of being a child-killer, it was the lilu, not the lilitu demon, which preyed on children.”
