mulGIŠ.KUN (𒀯𒄑𒆲) is an ancient Mesopotamian asterism in Leo.

Concordance, Etymology, History

UR.GU.LA drawing by Robert Perdok, LWL Planetarium Münster (2016), adapted to the star chart by Susanne M Hoffmann (2024)

= (mul)Rapaštu (𒊏𒉺𒀸𒌈) Akkadian parallel, a body part. Kurtik translates GIŠ.KUN as "Thigh"(?), but (mul)Rapaštu "hip", although they are equated in ancient texts.

Var. designations:

  • 1) = ziqpu XXIII, a group of stars in the constellation Leo (Leo),
  • 2) was among the "normal stars" (= θ Leonis) [AD I[1], 18; AHw[2], 955a; CAD[3] R, 154a; Gössmann[4] 163, IV 4].
