Constellation Lynx (lÌxh.)
The Lemizh Lynx is unrelated to our constellation of the same name. She sits behind the Whale-fish and looks west in the direction of the Merman. According to one legend, she tried to persuade the Ibex that it belonged in the mountains.

The 50 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.
