Pleiades and Venus in the morning sky.

a Mesopotamian term for the planet Venus.

Dictionary

Kurtik with Hilder, Hoffmann, Horowitz, Kim

= mulAḫātu "Sister";

an epithet of Ishtar as the planet Venus, who was considered the sister of the sun god Shamash [Lambert 1987, 95; Tallqvist 1938, 332-333].

Sources Identifications
A Hittite Prayer to the Gods of the Night.
  • In the first place: mula-ḫa-ti [KUB IV, 47 r. 43; BPO 2, 2:1; Van der Toorn 1985, 129:43], see also (Kurtik a15) Aḫû

In this source, there are five terms (a-ha-ti, ga-ga, dumuzi, ninkizida, shulpae) and there are five star-like planets. Lambert 1987 equals them to (Venus, Mercury, Saturn, Mars, Jupiter).

[Lambert 1987, 95/96]

"Venus (Itar) can only be the first: a-ha-ti. This, we suggest, is aḫati "sister (of)", rather than ahatti "outside" etc., since Itar was sister of Samag, the sun, the most conspicuous heavenly body. Identification of the other three is uncertain. Antagal G 309 (apud CAD salbatinu) identified Simut, an Elamite god of the netherworld (= Nergal: AfK 2 72 16) as Salbatanu, Mars. So it could be argued that Ningigzida in this list, being a Sumerian god of the netherworld, is Mars. Then since Dumuzi(d) would be maru kinu in Akkadian translation, Kayamanu (Saturn), being linguistically a fuller form of kfnu, might mean Dumuzi.

Then since Kakka under his aliases Ningubur, Ilabrat and Papsukkal became a vizier or messenger of all the gods, he could be Mercury because the Greek god equivalent to Mercury, Hermes, was an errand boy for the other gods."
