Dictionary

Var. reading:

  • dTUR.DIŠ; = kayyamānu(m) "Constant";
  • UDU.IDIM.SAG.UŠ "The Planet, Saturn' (should this be here or underster SAG.UŠ with a reference - like - 'for other names for Saturn see the index etc.???)

A designation of Saturn in astronomical texts of the first millennium B.C. [G. 69].

The name apparently comes from the Akkadian word, ginâ, "constantly, normally" [AHw. [AHw, 289; CAD G, 78], close in meaning to kayyamānu, and apparently reflects the slow motion of Saturn relative to the stars in comparison to other planets.

The Sumerian equivalents of kayyamānu(m) mul/dSAG.UŠ and UDU.IDIM.SAG.UŠ (Kurtik s10, u09) are also commonly used in the first millennium B.C. [[do you like this statement??]]

вар. чтения: dTUR.DIŠ; = kayyamānu(m) «Постоянный»; обозначение Сатурна в астрономических текстах I тыс. до н.э. [G. 69]. Название происходит, по-видимому, от аккадского ginâ «постоянно, нормально» [AHw, 289; CAD G, 78], близкого по смыслу kayyamānu, и отражает, по-видимому, медленный характер движения Сатурна относительно звезд в сравнении с другими планетами. В астрологических текстах обычно употребляли названия SAG.UŠ, UDU.IDIM.SAG.UŠ (s10, u09).
