Please add a citation to your statement connecting barīrĩtu and Aphrodite:
- If Semitic, a not implausible etymology would be from Assyrian barīrĩtu, a female demon found in Middle Babylonian and Late Babylonian texts (see Chicago Assyrian Dictionary vol. 2 p. 111). The name probably means "she who (comes) at dusk," a manifestation of the planet Venus as the evening star, a well known attribute of the Mesopotamian goddess Inanna/Ishtar.
If you can add footnotes to other "etymologies" mentioned in the article, that would strengthen a weak section. Thank you. --Wetman (talk) 13:26, 16 July 2008 (UTC)

[edit]Do you have a citation for your edit? It's pretty unlikely... ناهد/(Nåhed) speak! 05:34, 5 September 2008 (UTC)
