Sin (mythology)
Sin /ˈsiːn/ (Akkadian: Su'en, Sîn) or Nanna (Sumerian: DŠEŠ.KI, DNANNA) was the god of the moon in the Mesopotamian mythology of Akkad, Assyria and Babylonia. Nanna is a Sumerian deity, the son of Enlil and Ninlil, and became identified with Semitic Sin. The two chief seats of Nanna's/Sin's worship were Ur in the south of Mesopotamia and Harran in the north.
Name
The original meaning of the name Nanna is unknown. The earliest spelling found in Ur and Uruk is DLAK-32.NA (where NA is to be understood as a phonetic complement). The name of Ur, spelled LAK-32.UNUGKI=URIM2KI, is itself derived from the theonym, and means "the abode (UNUG) of Nanna (LAK-32)". He was also the father of Ishkur.
The pre-classical sign LAK-32 later collapses with ŠEŠ (the ideogram for "brother"), and the classical Sumerian spelling is DŠEŠ.KI, with the phonetic reading na-an-na. The technical term for the crescent moon could also refer to the deity, DU4.SAKAR. Later, the name is spelled logographically as DNANNA.

Noone Here
by: Happy RhodesI feel warm and whole
But there's noone here
Yes, and mine's a heavy soul
But there's noone here
my is
Look rising
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
And it's rising over there
But there's noone here
There's noone here
I'm without a body
To keep me warm
And not even a kitty
To share my storm
Well I know what I need
But there's noone here
And I know just where I bleed
But there's noone here `

And it's rising over there
But there's noone here
There's noone here
And I'm without a body

And not even a kitty
To share my storm
Well I want a warm brain
But there's noone here
'Cause mine's under a strain
And there's noone here
