page 374 note 1 The full transcription of the Cuneiform characters would be Mul-mulau mul-gud-anna. Another possible translation of the first two characters (mulmula) is “the bright star” or “constellation.” In any case, “the-bull-of-the-foundation,” and the marvellous “timniena-timmen-timme-tim-tem-te (‘foundation’)” on pp. 56, 57, fall to the ground.
