mulKA.KEŠ2 (𒀯𒅗𒆟) = kiṣru "The Knot", is a Sumerian term, apparently with multiple meanings in astronomical texts over the centuries. In the early second millennium it occurs as an asterism-name in Sumerian lists, later it occurs as a term for meteors, and finally as a technical term in late-mathematical astronomy[1].
Concordance, Etymology, History
Kurtik with Hilder, Hoffmann, Horowitz, Kim
Var. reading:
- mulKA.KEŠDA;
- = kiṣru "Knot".
Var. designations:
- 1) Possibly a term for meteorites, see (Kurtik k20) kiṣru.
- 2) In the Nippur forerunner to the Urra 22 star-list [G. 210; MSL XI, 108:390, now see Horowitz 2005: 166].
- 3) Also note the lexical equation mulKA.KEŠ2 = kippatu "circle" [CAD K, 397b], in which case a connection with mulGAM-ti, the Mesopotamian prototype of the Northern Crown (Corona Borealis) is possible.
Historical Dictionaries
| Kurtik (2022, k04) | Gössmann (1950) |
|---|---|
| вар. чтения: mulKA.KEŠDA; = kiṣru «Узел». Возможно, это термин для обозначения метеоритов, см. k20kiṣru. Встречается только в шумерских списках звезд из Ниппура [G. 210; MSL XI, 108:390]. Не исключается также тождество: mulKA.KEŠ2 = kippatu «Круг» [CAD K, 397b], в этом случае возможна связь с mulGAM-ti, месопотамским прототипом Северной Короны (Corona Borealis) (?). | Example |
