Star (was "Azerbaijan")

Piotr:

>The Arabic name is just an Arabised version of a:Darbayja:n <
>a:durba:daga:n < Median *a:tur-pa:taka:n- 'land of fire custodians'.
>Related to one old IE root for 'burn' (*h2ah1-, hence *h2ah1-tr-) and to
>*pah2- 'guard, keep'

Just a question. If *xah- is "burn" then... are we to reconstruct
*xhste:rs for "star"? Is this a valid word form for IndoEuropean?
