She will be referred to as Mami when she plays the role of comforter and decision-maker, and this may indeed be the place where people began saying the word "Mommy." Notice, however, that Mami needs Enki's permission before creating human beings.
By pages 16-17, Mami is mixing the clay and the blood, ultimately creating seven male and female humans simultaneously.
Interestingly, Mami dictates on page 17 that mothers should cut their own umbilical cords, perhaps to suggest that a mother, not the midwife, should determine for herself when she is ready to "let go" of her child into the world.
