So then, presuming that they were killed in the desert, basically just another phrase for “desert demons”? :-P

I dunno, epileptic seizures were “demons”, cancer would be a “demon”, so ghosts of slain warriors could certainly be thought of a “demon” as well? You would have to ask that Sumerian Healer though: I wasn’t there, so cannot speak for them:-).

Maybe not to you in our modern Western cultural context with a Christian definition of what a demon is. There’s no telling how an ancient Sumerian would imagine the supernatural, other than that it’s extremely unlikely to conform to the dogmas of any modern established religion.
