planet Venus next to the Pleiades; it is clearly visible in the photograph that rays and "horns" depend on the brightness of the source (Venus has them in a dirty and gloomy atmosphere, the stars don't), photographs by Susanne M Hoffmann April 2020.

mulGILIM (𒀯𒄃𒈠) is a Sumerian asterism name equated with mulAB.SÍN, 'The Furrow' in the Great Star List, in this context perhaps a name for Venus. The most common sense the Sumerian term is Akkadian parāku, 'to lie across,' which occurs in the context of other planets, and the Sun and Moon (CAD P 154-155). This sense of parāku in the context of the 'The Furrow'-asterism could refer to the meaning of parāku, ''to furrow or cross-plow a field' (CAD P 158), with perhaps reference to the 'V'-shaped ears of grain of the drawing of mulAB.SÍN on VAT 7847+AO 6488 (Weidner 1967, TAFEL 10, Beaulieu et al. 2018 99 bottom image) which lie across the front of the human figure in the drawing.

Concordance, Etymology, History[1]

The resumption of the sign's-reading with final M (GILIM.MA) insures the reading GILIM in this star-name but the reading GIB/GILIB for the same sign allows for readings GIB/GILIB in other contexts.
