Constellation Whale-fish - Lemizh grammar and dictionary

Constellation Whale-fish (gydpÌsk.)

This constellation, which corresponds to Cetus, is a sea monster whose shape is quite different from that of a whale: it has a bulky head (looking east), a slim neck, and long flippers.

It is swimming in the direction of the Hunter, trying to swallow it. Legends are told about the unlikely means by which the Hunter prevents that and kills the beast.

The 150 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.

The star with negative Lemizh brightness is a variable that is visible to the naked eye when at its brightest, but invisible on average.
