 <sup>mul</sup>U<sub>8</sub> (𒀯𒇇) = ''immertu'', 'the Ewe (female sheep)' is an asterism in the vicinity of 'the Wagon' (in [[Ursa Major]]).  The syllabic Akkadian writing ''im-mer-tu''<sub>4</sub> indicates that this is the Akkadian name of the constellation rather than the previously assumed ''lahru''. The fact that the asterism is seen as a ewe rather than a male sheep is part of the background of its identification with the goddess Aya, and so explains its identify with this same goddess among 'the 6 palace-women' in KAR 142 .
