(^) ferred to three individual stars, or were three names for the same star or constellation. Such confusion
might also explain the extra conjugation in H between the last two names in the list (see note below). On
this see H. Hunger and D. Pingree, 290 AfO 24, 128.
The extra conjunction in H is possibly due to the confusion surrounding this list of names (see the previ-
ous note). The scribe of H may, however, have been aware that the second term, šinūnūtu, was a gloss for
the first term, SIM.MA 291 Ḫ.
E lacks the conjunction between the listed items and so one might expect that this source assumes the
three listed names all refer to the same star or constellation. However, the plural form innammarū, “they
are seen,” in this sources indicates that E treats the listed items as referring to three individual stars. Fur-
ther, it seems that even H and V, which each have a conjunction separating two of the three listed names,
use a singular verb to describe them. In this way H and V always agree with A in the use of singular and
plural forms of the verb, even where they disagree on the use of conjunctions. A, it should be said, always
has the singular IGI.LÁ, innammar, when describing a single proper noun or a list of proper nouns that are
not separated by a conjunction (see A ii 36-39, 46, 47; iii 8, 9, 11). A always has the plural form of the
verb, IGI(LÁ) me/meš, when referring to lists of multiple proper nouns that are separated by a conjunction
(see A ii 40, 41, 43, 44, 45; iii 6, 10, 12). E, on the other hand, agrees with A in all occurrences of the verb
except for here and later in the same line (see below, M143). So, although there are some differences in the
use of conjunctions in the listed names (see M131, M133, M135, M137 and M148), it appears as though
only E exhibits any real confusion as to which lists referred to singular entities and which referred to multi-
ple entities.
