múl gišDA (𒋼𒄑𒁕) is a name for the ‘Bull's Jaw’ asterism in the constellation Taurus. The asterism is typically identified with the Hyades.
Concordance, Etymology, History
Kurtik with Hilder, Hoffmann, Horowitz, Kim
= is le10; a pseudo-Sumerogram for the constellation mulIs lê "Bull's Jaw" (= Hyades + Aldebaran).
Standard meaning gišDA = gišlēʼu "tablet (for writing)". [AHw[1], 546-547]. The use of gišDA for is lê is explained by two coincidences:
- 1) is and giš are graphically the same sign,
 - 2) lê (from lû, līʼu "bull" [AHw, 560]) is phonetically close to lēʼu "tablet" [3 Erg.[2] 336; Gössmann[3] 77, 96].

 The name was used (usually without the determinative) to refer to α Tauri (= Aldebaran) as a normal star (see Kurtik m39) MUL2.ŠID.MEŠ; for the earliest examples see. [ADRT I[4], -384 Rev. 9, -378 Obv. 6', -372 A Col. I 6, 10 and passim]. See also [LBAT[5], 1564 r. 7, 1567:4], in the latter case the name is given with the determinative múl. See also (Kurtik i15) Is le10.  |

| = is le10; псевдошумерограмма для обозначения созвездия mulIs lê «Челюсть Быка» (= Гиады + Альдебаран).
 Стандартное значение gišDA = gišlēʼu «табличка (для письма)» [AHw, 546–547]. Использование gišDA для обозначения is lê объясняется двумя совпадениями: 1) is и giš графически один и тот же знак, 2) lê (от lû, līʼu «бык» [AHw, 560]) фонетически близко lēʼu «табличка» [3 Erg. 336; G. 77, 96]. Название использовалось в «Дневниках наблюдений» (как правило, без детерминатива) для обозначения α Tauri (= Альдебаран) как нормальной звезды (см. m39 MÚL.ŠID.MEŠ); самые ранние примеры см. [ADRT I, -384 Rev. 9, -378 Obv. 6', -372 A Col. I 6, 10 and passim]. См. также [LBAT, 1564 r. 7, 1567:4], в последнем случае название дано с детерминативом múl. См. также i15Is lê.  |
