I'm working on it.  For the most part, so far the Mererail use our
constellations by different names.  For instance, Taurus is the
Spearhead, Orion is the Warrior ('Arazen'), the Big Dipper is the plough
(although, I'm apparently not the first one to think it looks like a
plough.  Oh well.) and the Pleides are the Jewels ('Gyanui').  There is
also a constellation called the Snake, but I can't figure out what stars
it corosponds to here: I just can see it in the night sky these days.
