mul4U.RI.RI (𒌌𒌋𒊑𒊑) only occurs in a set of astronomical omens at the end of MUL.APIN. Here, mul4U.RI.RI changes position amidst the stars and thus must be a planet, or a term for comet or falling star. Hunger and Steele 2019:[1] 127 provide indirect evidence for an identification of mul4U.RI.RI with Mercury. A foreign, non-Akkadian background for the name may be suspected.
Concordance, Etymology, History[2]
= A moving celestial luminary, possibly the planet Mercury, or a comet; the name occurs only in astrological texts [Gössmann[3] 165; Chadwick 1993[4], 171; Weidner 1923-24, 203-205].

Additional
Since <mul>U.RI.RI stands in [ACh Ištar[6], 33:8] among the predictions dedicated to Mercury, it is possible that this is the name of Mercury [MA[1] 134].

| = движущееся небесное светило, возможно, планета Меркурий, или комета; название встречается только в астрологических текстах [Gössmann 1950, 165; Chadwick 1993, 171; Weidner 1923–24, 203–205].
I. Источники. MUL.APIN. Астрологические предсказания: a) DIŠ U.RI.RI IGI.LA2 A.AN u A.KAL «Если звезда U.RI.RI становится видна: дождь и наводнение», b) DIŠ mul4U.RI.RI ana mul4 gišGIGIR KU.NU-ma ANŠE.PA+GIN2meš BEmeš «Если звезда U.RI.RI приближается к Колеснице: лошади будут умирать», c) DIŠ mul4U.RI.RI ana mul4AB.SIN2 KU.NU-ma ŠU.BI.AŠ.AM3 «Если звезда U.RI.RI приближается к Борозде: (произойдет) то же самое», d) DIŠ mul4U.RI.RI ana mul4ALLA KU.NU ḪUR AL GAMme «Если звезда U.RI.RI приближается к Крабу: ḪUR AL будут умирать», e) DIŠ mul4U.RI.RI ana mul4ALLA 15 KU.NU ḪUR AL GAMme «Если звезда U.RI.RI приближается к Крабу справа: ḪUR AL будут умирать», f) DIŠ U.RI.RI ana mul4ALLA 2,30 KU.NU BE GAMme «Если звезда U.RI.RI приближается к Крабу слева: BE будут умирать» (II iii 22–27) [MA 110–111, 134]. Плохо сохранившая параллель к II iii 23ff. см. [AAT, 40 r. 1ff.]. См. также предсказания: DIŠ <mul>U.RI.RI itiši-[ir BURU14…] «Если звезда Урири (в) месяце Ше[р-эбури (=симану) …]» [ACh Ištar, 33:8]; DIŠ mul4U.RI.RI ina MAŠ.QA 30 GUB […] «Если звезда Урири на плече Луны стоит […]» [ACh Ištar, 29:10]. Поскольку <mul>U.RI.RI стоит в [ACh Ištar, 33:8] среди предсказаний, посвященных Меркурию, не исключено, что это имя Меркурия [MA 134]. |
