mulTūʼamū GAL.MEŠ (𒀯𒌅𒄴𒌑𒈬𒃲𒈨𒌍) to be rendered into Akkadian as multūʼamū rabûtu, 'The Great Twins,' is an Akkadian name for mulMAŠ.TAB.BA.GAL.GAL. The entry from the commentary Enuma Anu Enlil identifying this name with mulMAŠ.TAB.BA.TUR.TUR , 'The Lesser Twins,' reflects the ongoing confusion and overlap in Mesopotamian terms for 'Twins' constellations.
