BELTIS

is the wife of Bel-nipru. But she is more than his mere female power. She is a separate and important deity. Her common title is the Great Goddess. In Chaldea her name was Mulita or Enuta, both words signifying the lady. Her favorite title was the mother of the gods, the origin of the gods.

In Maya BEL is the road, the way; and TE means here. Belté or Beltis would be I am the way, the origin.

Mulita would correspond to MUL-TE, many here, many in me. I am the mother of many. Her other name Enuta seems to be (Maya) Ena-te, signifies ENA, the first, before anybody, and TE here. Enaté, I am here before anybody, I am the mother of the Gods.
