mulErû or mulArû is the Akkadian name for the constellation of The Eagle, Sumerian: TE8/TI8. (sign A2), 'eagle' in this context at times perhaps for any large generic predator bird, for example, a vulture. This constellation is typically identified with the Greek and the modern constellation of Aquila, The Eagle.
