mulBUR.RU.UM AN.NA (𒀯𒁓𒊒𒌝𒀭𒈾), "the Sparkling Night-Sky of Heaven". A pseudo-Sumerian term that occurs just 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[1] 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 in the case of the Great Star List to the brightest clouds of the Milky Way in Sagittarius. This could also explain the near homonym previous entry mulUr-um AN.NA which too is a name for a bright feature in Sagittarius.
