There is something wrong here - - we need to check what we wrote in Hoffmann and Horowitz 2025.???

This cannot be a name for the Babylonian-Assyrian equivalent of classical [[Leo]] which is depicted as male in a first millennium drawing. However, the feminine form of the Akkadian at Emar in Syria in the Second Millennium BCE could allow for a different view of this constellation in earlier periods, particularly in the West-Semitic realm, or for an identification with another 'cat' shaped figure in the sky or just perhaps an ancient version of [[Leo Minor]].

mulUR.NIG (𒀯𒌨𒊩𒌨) = nēltu "lioness" occurs only one time in cuneiform, in a list of stars from the the Middle Babylonian period in Syria, at Emar. It has been discussed whether this is a name variant of constellation UR.GU.LA in Leo, which is depicted as male in a first millennium drawing. Alternatively, it was suggested that the feminine form of the Akkadian at Emar in Syria in the Second Millennium BCE could also refer to an additional (rarely mentioned) constellation in earlier periods, particularly in the West-Semitic realm, or for an identification with another 'cat' shaped figure in the sky or just perhaps an ancient version of Leo Minor. This hypothesis is rejected, see Hoffmann and Horowitz 2025[1], pp. 35, 39.
