mulLU (𒀯𒇻) is used as single sign writing for the name of 'The Hired Man' (mul lúḪUN.GA2 = Aries, 'The Ram') in later astronomical and astrological texts. See h12 mul lúḪUN.GA2. For examples of late writings with LU, the same sign as Sumerian udu, 'sheep,' see below.

Dictionary

Kurtik with Hilder, Hoffmann, Horowitz, Kim

Constellation and zodiac sign of the Hired Man (= Aries, Aries) in later astronomical and astrological texts. LU appears to be a homophonic replacement for the rarely used LU2 (from mul lúḪUN.GA2). It is also possible that it is a semantic replacement of the abbreviation ḪUN (see h11) by the graphically close sign LU; the symbol of the constellation in the second half of the first millennium BC was considered to be the ram, and LU could be read also as UDU = immeru "ram" hence allowing for the sign-pun in the Uranology Group Text D (see Beaulieu et al. 2018: 46).

созвездие и знак зодиака Наемный работник (= Овен, Aries) в поздних астрономических и астрологических текстах. По-видимому, LU есть гомофонная замена редко используемого LU2 (от mul lúḪUN.GA2). Возможно также, что это — смысловая замена сокращения ḪUN (см. h11) на графически близкий знак LU; символом созвездия во второй половине  I тыс. до н.э. считался баран, а LU могло быть прочитано также как UDU = immeru «Баран» [Ungnad 1941–44, 256, note 37; G. 237; AUWE, 153; Куртик 2002, 94]. Отождествление LU2 и LU в названии созвездия в MLC 1866 см. h12, III.  Возможно также, это сокращение от LU.MAŠ, см. [Rochberg 2004, 119, note 23]. (проверить)
