   Thanks.  Some interesting stuff there.   
      
   > GU.ANNA - "heavenly bull" - Taurus   
   > MASH.TAB.BA - "twins" - Gemini   
   > DUB - "pincers, tongs" - Cancer (the crab)   
   > UR.GULA - "lion" - Leo   
   > AB.SIN - "whose father was Sin" - Virgo (the maiden)   
   > ZI.BA.AN.NA - "heavenly fate" - Libra (the scales)   
   > GIR.TAB - "clawer, cutter" - Scorpio   
   > PA.BIL - "defender" - Sagittarius (the archer)   
   > SUHUR.MASH - "goat-fish" - Capricorn   
   > GU - "Lord of the waters" - Aquarius (the water-bearer)   
   > SIM.MAH - "fishes" - Pisces   
   > KU.MAL - "field dweller" - Aries (the ram)   
      
   A couple of extra comments:  "Sin" was the Moon god, so Virgo is "whose   
   father was the Moon".  Wonder why?  "The Compleat Astrologer" (by Derek and   
   Julia Parker) have Aquarius as GU.LA, rather than GU.  And would that be any   
   relation of UR.GULA (Leo)?
