Šarrab(u) is a god who could be regarded as a twin brother of the god Birtum, though sometimes he is instead paired with Šâbu instead. Šarrabu itself might mean "cheater" or "slanderer," though other possibilities have also been proposed, including a possible association with the Arabic word sārab, "Fata Morgana."
