A list of Sumerian deities, ca. 2400 BC. Each list entry is prefixed by the DIĜIR determinative. The Sumerian sign DIĜIR originated as a star-shaped ideogram indicating a god in general, or the Sumerian god An, the supreme father of the gods. Dingir also meant sky or heaven in contrast with ki which meant earth. -- source link
