Concordance, Etymology, History

Kurtik with Hilder, Hoffmann, Horowitz, Kim

The name is present only in the list of astral gods in the New Year ritual in Babylon: múlNE.NE.GAR ša2 ina ramani(NI2)-šu2 banû(DU3)u "Nenegar who created himself" [RAcc.[1], 138:311; Linssen 2004[2], 220, 229].

In [Gössmann[3] 301] the identity mulNE.NE.GAR = mulNE.GI.IZI.GAR is assumed (see Kurtik n13); in [Reiner 1995[4], 138, n. 660] the reading NE.NE.GAR = Ne-bi2-rux, i.e. Jupiter, is suggested. The name corresponds to the 5th month of the Babylonian calendar; therefore, it is not excluded that it denotes one of the constellations heliacally rising in this month.

Historical Dictionaries

Kurtik (2022, n14) Gössmann (1950)
название присутствует только в списке астральных богов в новогоднем ритуале в Вавилоне: múlNE.NE.GAR ša2 ina ramani(NI2)-šu2 banû(DU3)u «Ненегар, который сам себя создал» [RАcc., 138:311; Linssen 2004, 220, 229].

В [G. 301] предполагается тождество mulNE.NE.GAR = mulNE.GI.IZI.GAR (см. n13); в [Reiner 1995, 138, n. 660] предлагается чтение NE.NE.GAR = Ne-bi2-rux, т.е. Юпитер. Название соответствует 5-му месяцу вавилонского календаря; не исключено поэтому, что оно обозначает одно из созвездий, гелиакически восходящих в этот месяц.
