===Mandaean=== {{main|Mandaean cosmology}} {{Contains special characters|special=[[Mandaic language|Mandaic]] text|section=section}} In [[Mandaeism]], the names of the [[Mandaean cosmology#Planets|seven planets]] are derived from the seven Babylonian planets.<ref name="Bhayro 2020">{{cite book|last=Bhayro|first=Siam|title=Hellenistic Astronomy |chapter=Cosmology in Mandaean Texts|publisher=Brill|date=2020-02-10|chapter-url=https://brill.com/view/book/edcoll/9789004400566/BP000051.xml|access-date=2021-09-03|pages=572–579|doi=10.1163/9789004400566_046|isbn=9789004243361 |s2cid=213438712 }}</ref> Overall, the seven classical planets ({{langx|myz|ࡔࡅࡁࡀ|šuba|The Seven}}; {{lang|myz|ࡔࡉࡁࡉࡀࡄࡉࡀ}} {{transliteration|myz|šibiahia}}, "planets"; or, combined, {{transliteration|myz|šuba šibiahia}} "Seven Planets"<ref name="Nasoraia 2021">{{cite book|last=Nasoraia|first=Brikha H.S.|author-link=Brikha Nasoraia|title=The Mandaean gnostic religion: worship practice and deep thought|publisher=Sterling|publication-place=New Delhi|year=2021|isbn=978-81-950824-1-4|oclc=1272858968}}</ref>) are generally not viewed favorably in Mandaeism, since they constitute part of the entourage of [[Ruha]], the Queen of the World of Darkness who is also their mother. However, individually, some of the planets can be associated with positive qualities. The names of the seven planets in Mandaic are borrowed from [[Akkadian language|Akkadian]].<ref name="Bhayro 2020"/> Some of the names are ultimately derived from [[Sumerian language|Sumerian]], since [[Akkadian language|Akkadian]] had borrowed many deity names from Sumerian. Each planet is said to be carried in a ship. Drawings of these ships are found in various [[Mandaean scriptures]], such as the ''[[Scroll of Abatur]]''. The planets are listed according to the traditional Mandaean order of the planets as mentioned in Masco (2012).<ref name="Masco 2012">{{cite book|last=Masco|first=Maire|title=The Mandaeans: Gnostic astrology as an artifact of cultural transmission|publisher=Fluke Press|publication-place=Tacoma, WA|year=2012|isbn=978-1-938476-00-6|oclc=864905792}}</ref>{{rp|87}} {|class="wikitable" !Planet ![[Mandaic language|Mandaic]] ![[Mandaic alphabet|Mandaic script]] ![[Akkadian language|Akkadian]] !Other names !Associations |- |Sun |[[Shamish|Šamiš]] |{{Langx|myz|ࡔࡀࡌࡉࡔ|label=none}} |[[Shamash|Šamaš]] |''Adunai'' ← Hebrew [[Adonai]] |light and life-powers ''[[Yawar Ziwa]]'' (Dazzling Light) and ''[[Simat Hayyi]]'' (Treasure of Life); [[Yazuqaeans]]<ref name="Shapira 2004">{{cite journal|title=Manichaeans (''Marmanaiia''), Zoroastrians (''Iazuqaiia''), Jews, Christians and Other Heretics: A Study in the Redaction of Mandaic Texts|last=Shapira|first=Dan D.Y.|journal=[[Le Muséon]]|volume=117|issue=3–4|date=2004|pages=243–280|doi=10.2143/MUS.117.3.516929|url=https://poj.peeters-leuven.be/secure/POJ/downloadpdf.php?ticket_id=60d8fdd28336c|url-access=subscription}}</ref> |- |Venus |[[Libat]] |{{Langx|myz|ࡋࡉࡁࡀࡕ|label=none}} |[[Delebat]] |''Amamit'' (the underworld goddess), ''Argiuat'', ''Daitia'', ''Kukbat'' (the diminutive of 'star'), ''Spindar'', ''ʿstira'' (i.e., [[Ishtar]] or [[Astarte]]), and ''[[Ruha]]'' or ''Ruha ḏ-qudša'' ([[Holy Spirit]]) |success in love and reproduction |- |Mercury |[[Nbu]] (ʿNbu) |{{Langx|myz|ࡍࡁࡅ|label=none}}<br />{{Langx|myz|ࡏࡍࡁࡅ|label=none}} |[[Nabu|Nabû]] |''Maqurpiil'', ''Mšiha'' ← [[Messiah]]; ''ʿaṭarid'' ← Arabic |learning, scribes; Christ and Christianity |- |Moon |[[Sin (Mandaeism)|Sin]] |{{Langx|myz|ࡎࡉࡍ|label=none}} |[[Sin (mythology)|Sīnu]] |''Agzʿil'', ''Ṭaṭmʿil'', ''[[Saureil|Ṣaurʿil]]'', and ''Sira'' |miscarriages and abnormal births |- |Saturn |[[Kiwan]] |{{Langx|myz|ࡊࡉࡅࡀࡍ|label=none}} |[[Kajamanu|Kayyamānu]] |''Br Šamiš'' (The Son of the Sun) |Jews; Saturday |- |Jupiter |[[Bil (Mandaeism)|Bil]] |{{Langx|myz|ࡁࡉࡋ|label=none}} |[[Bel (mythology)|Bēlu]] |''Angʿil'' |male; "hot and moist" |- |Mars |[[Nirig]] |{{Langx|myz|ࡍࡉࡓࡉࡂ|label=none}} |[[Nergal]]lu |''Marik'' |violence; Islam |}
