Stellarium map
Heel of the "Demon with the Gaping Mouth" in Mesopotamian astral science, typically identified with lambda Andromedae (in the first millennium). Depiction in Stellarium, painting by Jessica Gullberg 2021.

The body part asidu is the heel of human figures and parallel part in composites. For the asidu as part of any constellation see those entries.

Dictionary (Provenance of the term)

Kurtik with Hilder, Hoffmann, Horowitz, Kim

= mulAsīdu "Heel" is used as designation for a body part of constellations [G. 38; AHw 73-74; CAD A/2, 330], including:

  1. Heel of mulUD.KA.DUḪ.A (The Demon with the Gaping Mouth): λ And
  2. Heel of Enmesharra, see (Kurtik e11) EN.ME.ŠAR2.RA, V 2 (ζ Per?, ι Aur would also be possible - within Mesopotamian uranography, there is no argument against it, except for the proposed identification of The Old Man with Greek Perseus)..
  3. Heel of the Old Man, see (Kurtik sh16) ŠU.GI, (Kurtik e11) EN.ME.ŠAR2.RA, III 4 (ζ Per?).
  4. The Rear Heel of the True Shepherd of Anu, see (Kurtik s22) SIPA.ZI.AN.NA, V 1 (GU-text: η Lep)[1].

The "heel of UD.KA.DUḪ.A" is a ziqpu-star (= ziqpu XI, in the constellation of Andromeda) and has, thus, a metrical significance.
