mulU5.RI2.IN (𒀯𒄷𒋛𒌷𒅔) is an ancient Mesopotamian star name, most likely the root of the Greek term Orion, so likely to be identified with this constellation. See mulSIPA.ZI.AN.NA for the possible identification of the tikpu-asterism (asterism with an element consisting of small points of light close together to one another) of Urinnu as the belt of Orion.
