múl gišDA (𒋼𒄑𒁕) = is lê, is a name for the ‘Bull's Jaw’ asterism in the constellation Taurus. Here, Sumerian gišDA, a standard term for a type of cuneiform tablet and writing board (gišlēʼu), is used to create a sort of pseudo-homonym by way of reading Sumerian GIŠ, the determinative for trees, woods and wooden implements = Akkadian iṣu, as /iṣ/.

= is le10; a pseudo-Sumerogram for the constellation mulIs lê "Bull's Jaw" (= Hyades + Aldebaran).
Standard meaning gišDA = gišlēʼu "tablet (for writing)" [AHw[2], 546-547]. The use of gišDA for is lê is explained by two coincidences:
- 1) is and giš are graphically the same sign,
- 2) lê (from lû, līʼu "bull" [AHw, 560]) is phonetically close to lēʼu "tablet" [3 Erg.[3] 336; Gössmann[4] 77, 96].

The name was used (usually without the determinative) to refer to α Tauri (= Aldebaran) as a normal star (see Kurtik m39) MUL2.ŠID.MEŠ; for the earliest examples see. [ADRT I[5], -384 Rev. 9, -378 Obv. 6', -372 A Col. I 6, 10 and passim]. See also [LBAT[6], 1564 r. 7, 1567:4], in the latter case the name is given with the determinative mul2. See also (Kurtik i15) is lê. |

| = is le10; псевдошумерограмма для обозначения созвездия mulIs lê «Челюсть Быка» (= Гиады + Альдебаран).
Стандартное значение gišDA = gišlēʼu «табличка (для письма)» [AHw, 546–547]. Использование gišDA для обозначения is lê объясняется двумя совпадениями: 1) is и giš графически один и тот же знак, 2) lê (от lû, līʼu «бык» [AHw, 560]) фонетически близко lēʼu «табличка» [3 Erg. 336; G. 77, 96]. Название использовалось в «Дневниках наблюдений» (как правило, без детерминатива) для обозначения α Tauri (= Альдебаран) как нормальной звезды (см. m39 MÚL.ŠID.MEŠ); самые ранние примеры см. [ADRT I, -384 Rev. 9, -378 Obv. 6', -372 A Col. I 6, 10 and passim]. См. также [LBAT, 1564 r. 7, 1567:4], в последнем случае название дано с детерминативом múl. См. также i15Is lê. |
