Nammu, in later mythology, is depicted only as the primordial sea and loses the humanlike characteristics she may once have had.
In this conceptualization, Nammu (the primordial sea) is "the bitter waters." Notice how she provides the groundwork for the "sweet water of the Apsû," upon which the "earth of living humans" is supported that, in turn, rests beneath the sky (atmosphere) with "an/šamû" (heaven) above.
For this to be so, Nammu must be an outwardly rough 'character.' Her exterior must be as rough and bitter as her world was in order that she may thrive in it.
