ul/mul4KAL.NE (𒌌𒆗𒉈). This asterism is known from two omens, one of which is included in the series MUL.APIN. Given that both signs KAL and NE have numerous readings, we cannot how this name is to be read, but the context in MUL.APIN, in a sequence of omens for constellations and planets, suggests that KAL.NE also belongs to this general category.

[G. 98]; название встречается в текстах предсказаний из EAE и в MUL.APIN.
I. Источники. ЕАЕ.. DIŠ mulUG5.GA ana ulKAL.NE TE SU.GU7 GAL-ši «Если Ворон приближается к звезде KAL.NE: будет голод» [ACh Ištar, 24:9; ACh Suppl. 2, 81:3; MA, 134]; неясно, о каких светилах в данном случае идет речь. MUL.APIN. mul4KAL.NE IB2.TAG4 RU ana 4 MUL4.ME ša2 MUL4.MUL4 TE U URU ḪIme «Если звезда KAL.NE … (и) приближается к 4 звездам Плеяд: правитель(?) города будет благополучен(?)» (II iii 32) [MA, 112]. Это единственный известный нам текст, где речь идет как будто о 4 звездах Плеяд, в которых выделяли обычно 7 звезд, см. m35MUL.MUL. В новом издании MUL.APIN эта строка выглядит по-другому: DIŠ mul5KAL.NE IB2.TAG4 RU ana 4 MUL5.ME šá mul5AŠ.IKU TE U URU GAM.ME «Если звезда KAL.NE … (и) приближается к 4 звездам Поля (вар.: Звезд): правитель города умрет» [Hunger–Steele 2018, 158–9]. Детерминатив mul5 здесь соответствует mul4. |
