Constellation Merman - Lemizh grammar and dictionary

Constellation Merman (zrOnyÌx.)

The Merman corresponds mostly to our constellation Aquarius, but also includes Equuleus (the foal) and Fomalhaut, the main star of Piscis Austrinus (the southern fish). He is holding a cup (γ, η and π Aquarii) that is overflowing with water, soaking the last three in the Queue of Mice.

According to one story, the Merman was capured by the Eagle and made the gods’ cupbearer to keep him from drenching unsuspecting animals. In another, he intervened in a dispute involving the Ibex; see there for more.

The 117 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.
