Taški(m)-Mamma
Taški(m)-Mamma is a deity known from texts from Mari, where she was already worshiped in the Šakkanakku period. She also received offerings during the reign of Zimri-Lim, and textual sources indicate a temple dedicated to her existed in the city. Based on apparent connection to the underworld and groundwater she displays it can be presumed that it invokes Mamitu, rather than Mami.

“Cinzia Pappi argues that the name of the goddess Taški(m)-Mamma is a theophoric name, possibly one originally belonging to a ruler, and that based on apparent connection to the underworld and groundwater she displays it can be presumed that it invokes Mamitu, rather than Mami. This deity is known from texts from Mari, where she was already worshiped in the Šakkanakku period.”
