mulKA.AN.NA is an ancient Mesopotamian asterism.

Dictionary

Kurtik with Hilder, Hoffmann, Horowitz, Kim

Lit. "Heavenly Mouth"; the reading adopted in [G. 206] for the name of the constellation in the Astrolabe B menology (parallel to the Akkadian Is lê "Bull's Jaw"); an alternative reading and apparently the only correct one is mulGU3.AN.NA, cf.  [Horowitz 2014, 34:26].

Historical Dictionaries

Kurtik (2022) Gössmann (1950)
букв. «Небесные Уста»; принятое в  [G. 206] чтение названия созвездия в менологии «Астролябии Б» (параллель к аккадскому Is lê «Челюсть Быка»); альтернативное прочтение и, по-видимому, единственно правильное  – mulGU3.AN.NA, см.  [Horowitz 2014, 34:26]. Example
