(mul)NE (𒀯𒉈). Apparently an abbreviation of the Akkadian name nēšu for 'The Lion' (Leo).

Concordance, Etymology, History

Kurtik with Hilder, Hoffmann, Horowitz, Kim

Non-standard designation of the

A single-sign abbreviation for the zodiac sign Leo in the "Calendar-Ritual Text" W 22619/9+ instead of Sumerian UR.A as in SpTU III[1], 105:1; scribal error, probably related to Akkadian nēšu(UR.MAḪ) "lion" [CAD[2] N/2, 193ff.] or to the name of the 5th month of the Babylonian calendar itiNE(?).

From what I see W22619 = SpTU 3 105
