mul / dNU.MUŠ.DA is an ancient Mesopotamian constellation within The Centaur (Centaurus). Akkadian parallel to (mul)Nammaššû, "Herds of (wild) animals"(?) [CAD N/1, 233-234].
Dictionary
Krebernik (2023)
The god dNu-muš-da, city god of Kazallu, is a son of the moon god Nanna/Sîn. Spellings of the star name often omit the determinative for deities. According to Hh, the reading of the star name is nammaššû “herds of animals” (see SpTU III nr. 114 iv 127). Therefore, the sumerogram could be based on folk etymology. 5R 46: 44 gives the reading/explanation dŠa-gi-mu “The Roaring (god)”. MUL dNU.MUŠ.DA (EA 8r).

Нумушда — древнее шумерское божество, связанное с городом Казаллу на севере Вавилонии; имя упоминается уже в списках богов из Фары (XXVI в. до н.э.) [Krebernik 1986, 201]. Считался сыном Нанны и отождествлялся с богом грозы Ададом, а также с Мардуком [Black–Green 1992, 145; Tallqvist 1938, 431]. III. Отождествление. = Grus + Indus (группа звезд от α β Sagittarii до α Phoenicis) [G. 305, I]; замечание Шаумбергера: «Нумушда — одно из южных созвездий; его звезды, едва появившись, быстро опять исчезают» [3. Erg., 286]. = Журавль (Grus)(?) [Weidner 1957–59, 75a]. = η Centauri(?) [MA, 138]. = η или κ Centauri [ASM, 274]. = часть Центавра (Centauri) [Beaulieu et al. 2018, 75]. IV. Астрология. Отождествления: (1) = Венера; DIŠ mulNU.MUŠ.DA kal u4-mi GUB-iz ina GI6 NU IGI a-bu-bu KUŠ7-tim GAR-an […] «Если Нумушда весь день стоит (и) ночью не виден: потоп опустошительный произойдет […]» [ACh Suppl. 2, 78:15, 79:3], см. также [3.

(2) = Меркурий; DIŠ mulNU.MUŠ.DA za-mar i-lam-ma za-mar it-bal BE-ma MUL.MEŠ-šu2 GIM ka-ra-re-e GAL2.MEŠ / dUDU.IDIM.GU4.UD IGI-ma TUM3-ma NU IGI ki-ma ina u4-mi IGI TUM3-ma NU IGI / MUL-šu2 GIM ka-ra-re-e DUG4.GA ša2 NU IGI «Если Нумушда быстро вращается, (затем) быстро исчезает, если звезды его подобны полуденному Солнцу, (это означает): Меркурий появляется, исчезает и (вновь) не появляется, когда днем появляется, исчезает и (вновь) не появляется, звезда его подобна полуденному Солнцу; так говорят, когда он не появляется» [ACh Ištar, 28:12–14]; здесь предполагается тождество: Нумушда = Меркурий. (3) Нумушда = Мардук = Адад; [DIŠ mul]NU.MUŠ.DA dAMAR.UTU mulNU.MUŠ.DA dIM ša2 ina itiBAR2 dIM GU3-šu2 ne2-eḫ «[Если] Нумушда = Мардук, Нумушда = Адад, который в месяце нисану: Адад крик свой усмирил» [ACh Adad, 17:7].
