(I added Hunger-Pingree to the Additional identifications - and changed the English name to 'doublets' which fits nicely with takshatu 'triplets' and gives the gender of the two stars here.)

(MUL ša2) maš-(ša2)-a-ti/tu4 (𒀯𒃻𒈦𒃻𒀀𒋾), ''The Doublets,' is a pair of asterisms in Hercules. The feminine grammatical gender of the term suggests an identification with two female deities, and/or perhaps in some way two female figures observed in the sky perceived to represent 'female twins.'
