A pseudo-Sumerian term that occurs just the one time in The Great Star List as a feature of [[PA.BIL.SAG]] in [[Sagittarius]]. As written this must be taken as a Sumerian rendering of an Akkadian ''burrumū šamê''; ''burrumū'' being a poetic name for the night sky (see MCG<ref>''Horowitz W''. Mesopotamian Cosmic Geography. Winona Lake, 1998 (Mesopotamian Civilisation, 8).</ref> 226-227). The original intent of the Sumerian may be understood as something like, ‘the sparkling night sky of heaven,’ perhaps originally referring to the background gleam of the night-sky in general or to the brightest clouds of the Milky Way in Sagittarius.
