Re: names of sky features

Also, there is a book called _Star_Names:_Their_Lore_and_Meaning_ by
Richard Allen that is pretty good. It doesn't go through etymologies per
se, but it does list the names of stars/constellations/planets/other
noticeable features in many languages like Arabic, Sanskrit, German, etc.,
as well as often tell how the names were used and what the objects were
referred to as by different (English-renaissance, mostly) astronomers.
Very neat book.
BTW, the majority of star names used in English (as governed by the IAU)
are "from" Old/Middle Arabic.
