mulUDU.NITA2 (𒀯𒇻𒀴), The Ram, is the star at the head of the staff in mulgam3 = gamlu, 'The Crook,' (Auriga) as identified in Uranology Texts and the star-list VR 46: muludu.nita2 = sag.du mulgam3, 'The Ram' = the head of 'The Crook.' Thus, 'The Ram' (α Aurigae = Capella) is one of a select single-stars in larger asterisms that has its own independent Sumerian-Akkadian name.
