[[Image:Relief Im-dugud Louvre AO2783.jpg|thumb|[[Alabaster]] votive relief of [[Ur-Nanshe]], king of [[Lagash]], showing Anzû as a lion-headed eagle in a [[Master of Animals]] motif, ca. 2550–2500 BC; found at [[Girsu|Tell Telloh]] the ancient city of [[Girsu]], ([[Louvre]])]]

The name of the mythological being usually called Anzû was actually written in the oldest Sumerian [[cuneiform]] texts as {{script|Xsux|𒀭𒉎𒈪𒄷}} (''AN.IM.MI^MUŠEN''; the cuneiform sign 𒄷, or ''MUŠEN'', in context is an ideogram for "bird"). In texts of the Old Babylonian period, the name is more often found as {{script|Xsux|𒀭𒉎𒂂𒄷}} ''AN.IM.DUGUD^MUŠEN''.<ref name=alster/> In 1961, Landsberger argued that this name should be read as "Anzu", and most researchers have followed suit. In 1989, Thorkild Jacobsen noted that the original reading of the cuneiform signs as written (giving the name "^dIM.dugud") is also valid, and was probably the original pronunciation of the name, with Anzu derived from an early phonetic variant. Similar phonetic changes happened to parallel terms, such as ''imdugud'' (meaning "heavy wind") becoming ''ansuk''. Changes like these occurred by evolution of the ''im'' to ''an'' (a common phonetic change) and the blending of the new ''n'' with the following ''d'', which was aspirated as ''dh'', a sound which was borrowed into [[Akkadian language|Akkadian]] as ''z'' or ''s''.<ref name=jacobsen1989>Jacobsen, T.
