(mul)Nimru is an ancient Mesopotamian term; it means "panther" or "leopard". In astronomical texts of Nimru, this does not occur as a designation of a constellation. In The Great Star List and Miscellenia: igi nim-ri dka-mu-u2 da-ʼ-ik an.ki "Before the Panther Trapper, the killer of heaven (and) earth" [Mesop.Astrol., App. B:247; G. 214]; it is not clear whether this line has any astronomical meaning.
Modern scholars sometimes use the term "nimru" as an Akkadian translation of mulUD.KA.DU8.A. However, the identity occurs only in the lexical series of Nabnītu XXII, 265 [AHw, 790; CAD N/2, 234-235; LAS 2, 93], see u06UD.KA.DU8.A.

| аккадская параллель к mulUD.KA.DU8.A «Пантера = Демон с Разинутой Пастью»; тождество встречается только в лексической серии Nabnītu XXII, 265 [AHw, 790; CAD N/2, 234–235; LAS 2, 93], см. u06UD.KA.DU8.A. В астрономических текстах Nimru как обозначение созвездия не встречается. В «Большом списке звезд»: igi nim-ri dka-mu-u2 da-ʼ-ik an.ki «Перед Пантерой Ловец, убийца неба (и) земли» [Mesop.Astrol., App. B:247; G. 214]; неясно, имеет ли эта строка какой-либо астрономический смысл. | Example |
