KA.AN.DU8

^mulKA.AN.DU₈ (𒀯𒅗𒀭𒂃) only appears in the Emar parallel to the star-list of Urra XXII. The reading of the second sign in Akkadian could be for any of DI/TI/ṬI, and so the identification with Akkadian pāṭiru "Portable Altar" is not fully secure, There is also a homonyn with the meaning 'off duty soldier' (CAD P 303-305).

Dictionary

Kurtik with Hilder, Hoffmann, Horowitz, Kim

Only in the Urra XXII series (list from Emar): ^mulka.an.du₈ = pa-ṭi₂-ru₃/ru "Portable Altar" [Emar VI/4, 151:175].

Other possible readings:

• pa-di-ru₃/ru,
• pa-ti₂-ru₃/ru,
• had-di-ru₃/ru,
• hat-ti₂-ru₃/ru,
• haṭ-ṭi₂-ru₃/ru,

none of which supply an obvious rendering of a possible star-name.
