The raven was the sacred bird of another supreme deity as well - Odin/Wodan from the Nordic mythology, who, according to the Young Edda itself, came to Scandinavia from Asia Minor.
As for Inanna, for me she is the only real rival of Enlil - having charmed Enki and taken the MEs from Abzu, having taken Eanna from her grand-grandfather An, and having deprived him of his magical power by making him send his magical image Gudgalanna against Gilgamesh, then with all her arrogance having visited his widow Ereshkigal and having returned from the Land of No-Return...
Though there is no text telling about her rivalry with Enlil, it's implied anyway. Moreover, in the later Hurro-Hittite mythos we see her under her name Ishtar together with her brother the Storm-god to rule the universe while Ellil is exiled under the dark earth. This silent dethronement of Enlil/Ellil in the post-Sumerian mythologies has always been a mystery to me.
