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.
