Editing Alulim (section)

==Proposed influence on other mythical figures==
Eckhart Frahm has tentatively suggested that it is possible that the vowel pattern in the alternate form of Alulim's name, Alulu, influenced the formation of the name [[Pazuzu]].{{sfn|Frahm|2018|p=277}} A reference to Alulu occurs in a broken context in a heavily damaged [[Middle Assyrian Empire|Middle Assyrian]] (or later) text from [[Assur]] which might link him to Pazuzu, if the restoration of the latter name is correct, though due to the state of preservation the contents are presently impossible to interpret.{{sfn|Frahm|2018|pp=282=283}}

Mary R. Bachvarova notes that in the [[Hurrian religion|Hurrian]] ''Song of Birth'', the primordial deity [[Alalu]] who appears as the original "king in heaven" ([[king of the gods]]) bears a name similar to Alulim's.{{sfn|Bachvarova|2012|p=112}} She suggests that this text might have been influenced by the ''Sumerian King List'', with the reigns of the early rulers of the gods being patterned on the traditions pertaining to early Mesopotamian legendary kings.{{sfn|Bachvarova|2012|pp=112-113}}
