mulLUL.LA (𒀯𒈜𒆷) = sarru, 'the False, Lying-star' is a name for Mars (Ṣalbatānu) [Gössmann[1] 247; CAD[2] S, 184a; Reynolds 1998[3], 351]. It reflects both the planet's general malefic nature in Mesopotamian thought.

Identifications:

         (1) = Crab; mulLUL.LA = mulAL.LUL [BPO 2[5], III 7a], the basis of the identification is apparently wordplay [Reynolds 1998[3], 351].

Predictions:

         (2) General astrological meaning; mulLUL.LA ana ZI-ut IM [...] 'False Star for (predicting) the appearance (lit. rising) of the wind [...] [BPO 2[5], I 9, II 3, III 7].

         (3) Jupiter and the False Star meet; see (Kurtik s09) SAG.ME.GAR, III
