mulBURRUM AN.NA (the Sparkling Night-Sky of Heaven). A pseudo-Sumerian term that occurs just the one time in The Great Star List as a feature of PA.BIL.SAG in Sagittarius.

The original intent of the Sumerian may be understood as something like, ‘the sparkling night sky of heaven,’ perhaps originally referring to the background gleam of the night-sky in general.
