Constellation Thimble - Lemizh grammar and dictionary

Constellation Thimble (wzinskrùc.)

The Thimble was named by early European explorers who sailed the southern oceans, along with the Bridge, the Elephant, the Flamingo, the Hummingbird, the Ivory Tower, the Jaguar, the Kangaroo, the Loom and Shuttle, the Seal, and the Shark.

It is a small constellation located at the rear end of the Centaur, its top pointing north, and incorporating stars from our constellations Crux (the cross) and Musca (the fly).

In a story about the Ship, its crew uses the Thimble to hunt down a legendary creature, but they are thwarted by the Boojum.

The 39 naked-eye stars

In the ‘Our designation’ column, letters (sometimes with superscript numbers) in front of constellation symbols refer to Bayer’s catalogue or to variable star designations, and numbers to Flamsteed’s catalogue. Row colours roughly approximate the stars’ colours. The links lead to the stars’ entries in the SIMBAD Astronomical Database.
