Anu (also An; from Sumerian 𒀭 An, "sky, heaven") is the earliest attested Sky Father deity. In Sumerian religion, he was also "King of the Gods", "Lord of the Constellations, Spirits and Demons", and "Supreme Ruler of the Kingdom of Heaven", where Anu himself wandered the highest Heavenly Regions. He was believed to have the power to judge those who had committed crimes, and to have created the stars as soldiers to destroy the wicked. His attribute was the Royal Tiara. His attendant and Overseer was the God Ilabrat.
Anu existed in Sumerian cosmogony as a dome that covered the flat earth; Outside of this dome was the primordial body of water known as Nammu (not to be confused with the subterranean Abzu).
In Sumerian, the designation "An" was used interchangeably with "the heavens" so that in some cases it is doubtful whether, under the term, the god An or the heavens is being denoted. The Akkadians inherited An as the god of heavens from the Sumerian as Anu-, and in Akkadian cuneiform, the DINGIR character may refer either to Anum or to the Akkadian word for god, ilu-, and consequently had two phonetic values an and il. Hittite cuneiform as adapted from the Old Assyrian kept the an value but abandoned il.

Fluffy, furry buddy
Chewed his leg on the porch
Why¹d you do it Fluffy
On the porch?
Good dog Fluffy
Old friend, my pal
Fluffy¹s got his buddy
On the porch
Penny, she's my girlie
She sits here with me, on the porch
Oh Penny looks so pretty
On the porch
Penny takes Fluffy for a walk out
On the path
And Fluffy chases the other doggies
On the path
The pig says to Penny
"Get Fluffy back on the porch"
So me and Fluffy and Penny
