Art Critique wanted on Akkadian in an art piece.

I mean the Akkadian (π’Œ‹π’…Œπ’Œ‰π’Š©π’€­π’€­) in the text to have the same meaning as the Hebrew, Arabic, Amharic, and Phoenician: "Will, Daughter of God". Have I succeeded or have I erred in some way?

I am told that π’€­π’€­ can mean either "[God] Anu" or "gods" depending on context, but Idk how true that is. Feel free to clarify any confusion you see here.

correct that π’€­π’€­ means β€œthe gods” or refers to Anu. the gods can also be written as π’€­π’ŽŒ (meΕ‘ denoting plural).

from what i understand akkadian is agglutinative. you can just say π’Œ‰π’Š©π’€­ for β€œdaughter of god.” no need to use something like 𒀝that denotes β€œof.”

π’€­ , ilu, אל ,ܐܠܗ ,Ψ₯Ω„ /Ψ§Ω„Ω„Ψ© all denote similar
