This meaning may be derived from Gibil, as also from Bíl = išatu, “fire,” theneššu, “new,” then abu, “father,

Lugalbanda is a soldier in King Enmerkar’s army.Enmerkar, the founder and first king of Uruk, is leading his army to lay siege to the city of Aratta, whose king he has a quarrel with over the favors of a certain goddess, Inana and the matter of tribute. The soldier, Lugalbanda, happens to fall sick along the way. “No man left behind” has not entered the warrior’s creed yet and his fellow soldiers leave him alone in a cave with a few provisions.  There he lies in a fevered state for two days, praying to his gods that he will be healed. His prayers are answered as the gods speak to him in a dream
