^{mul an}U₂.GE.E (𒀯𒀭𒌑𒄀𒂊) is a Mesopotamian term. Probably to be read MUL ^du₂-ge-e. Akkadian to be read ugu'u or ugû, and so perhaps to be connected with wind-demons (see CAD U/W 40 ugu'u). This term is not to be identified with the stars of the asterisms ^mulUGA^mušen and ^mulUG₅.GA, 'The Raven' and 'The Dead Star' in the vicinity of Corvus, which are located in completely different areas of the sky.
