mulKA.KEŠ2 (𒀯𒅗𒆟) = kiṣru "The Knot", is a Sumerian term, apparently with multiple meanings in astronomical texts over the centuries. In the early second millennium it occurs as an asterism-name in Sumerian lists, later it occurs as a term for meteors, and finally as a technical term in late-mathematical astronomy.[1]

Var. reading:
- mulKA.KEŠDA;
- = kiṣru "Knot".
Var. designations:
- 1) Possibly a term for meteorites, see (Kurtik k20) kiṣru.
- 2) In the Nippur forerunner to the Urra 22 star-list [G. 210; MSL XI, 108:390, now see Horowitz 2005: 166].
- 3) Also note the lexical equation mulKA.KEŠ2 = kippatu "circle" [CAD K, 397b], in which case a connection with mulGAM-ti, the Mesopotamian prototype of the Northern Crown (Corona Borealis) is possible.
