"Aya is the goddess of the dawn in Akkadian mythology. Aya was the consort of the Sun god, Shamash." [WGSBN Bull. 5, #15, 15].
"Buduhudug was the mythical mountain where the sun set, the place where Shamash entered Aya, reuniting with her each day after he finished his journey through the sky.
Ninsun, Gilgamesh's mother, during her prayer to Shamash, asks Aya three times to intercede on behalf of her son to guarantee his safety both during the day and the night on his journey to the Land of the Living where he would face the giant Humbaba, guardian of the Cedar Forest. Ninsun makes clear that the optimal time for Aya to supplicate her husband is just after sunset, when he returns home from his daily journey." (Wikipedia)
