Outdated scholarship edit

There is no such a deity as "Išhanna" and Ishara did not develop from Inanna, she did not even originate in Mesopotamia but in Ebla... Ishara also has nothing to do with Ninadara and was not worshiped in Lagash. This needs to be removed. A source from 1925 is a laughable argument (also, I would recommend reading Wikipedia:Reliable_sources#Age_matters) considering there was no real treatment of the pantheon of Lagash as a whole prior to Selz's monograph from 1995 (which is more or less open access, ie. the author himself shared it via academia.edu, so there is no excuse for not checking). Given Zababa's almost complete absence from Lagash you also cannot claim an association between him and (an) Ishtar - Asher-Greve and Westenholz in Goddesses in Context point out Ishtar of Kish would not be identical with any other Ishtar(s) - can be transferred to completely different deities at random.
