múl dGENNA = kayyamānu(m) "Constant" is a common name for Saturn in cuneiform. It is the name that is used in the lists of 7 planets in the the Late Babylonian Uranology tablet MCL 1866 and contemporary Late Babylonian ritual texts.

Heading should be GENNA (TUR.DIŠ) = k.......

All tur.dish should be read genna??? -- doesn''t exist

Need to add Uranology Texts IMLC 1866 iv 8, Beaulieu et al. 38 D iv 8 === Images of Saturn ===

Dictionary

Var. reading:

  • dTUR.DIŠ; = kayyamānu(m) "Constant"; TUR.DISH is genna
  • SAG.UŠ/UDU.IDIM.SAG.UŠ "The Planet, Saturn' (should this be here or underster SAG.UŠ with a reference - like - 'for other names for Saturn see the index etc.??? - do these need to be linked

A designation of Saturn in astronomical texts of the first millennium B.C. [G. 69].

The name apparently comes from the Akkadian word, ginâ, "constantly, normally" [AHw. [AHw, 289; CAD G, 78], close in meaning to kayyamānu, and apparently reflects the slow motion of Saturn relative to the stars in comparison to other planets.

The Sumerian equivalents of kayyamānu(m) mul/dSAG.UŠ and UDU.IDIM.SAG.UŠ (Kurtik s10, u09) are also commonly used in the first millennium B.C. [[do you like this statement??]]

First in the diary for -567 as dGENNA [ADRT I, -567:9]; in the same diary we find dSAG.UŠ [ibid., -567:2]; in later texts the designation Saturn is always GENNA.

Kurtik (2022, g10) Gössmann (1950)
вар. чтения: dTUR.DIŠ; = kayyamānu(m) «Постоянный»; обозначение Сатурна в астрономических текстах I тыс. до н.э. [G. 69]. Название происходит, по-видимому, от аккадского ginâ «постоянно, нормально» [AHw, 289; CAD G, 78], близкого по смыслу kayyamānu, и отражает, по-видимому, медленный характер движения Сатурна относительно звезд в сравнении с другими планетами. В астрологических текстах обычно употребляли названия SAG.UŠ, UDU.IDIM.SAG.UŠ (s10, u09).

Впервые в дневнике за -567 г. как dGENNA [ADRT I, -567:9]; в этом же дневнике встречаем dSAG.UŠ [ibid., -567:2], в более поздних текстах обозначение Сатурна всегда ― GENNA. Математическая астрономия.
