[234] There is a treatise on the Bintang Dua-b’las, too long to give in full, of which a short extract will be found in App. [ccliv]. [↑]
[235] The following names of constellations are taken from Klinkert, s.v. Bintang and elsewhere:
Bintang Mayang, the Virgin (lit. the Spathe of Palm-blossom).
Bintang Pari, the Southern Cross (lit. the Skate or Sting-ray).
Bintang B’lantek (C. and S.) i.e. the Spring-gun, or rather Spring-spear-trap (also called by its Arabic name al-jubar), Orion.
Bintang Bidok, or Bintang Jong, the Great Bear (lit. the Boat or Junk).
Others bear more familiar names, e.g.:—
Bintang Utara or Kotub (?), the Pole-Star (lit. North Star).
Bintang Kala, the Scorpion.
