(Wed. Western Asia. Sumer, Babylonia [identifying the Sky Bull sent by Ishtar against Uruk and the Sky Bull killed by Gilgamesh with the constellation presumably, but probably; only its front part was seen in the sky (Hyades are the "bull's jaw", the Pleiades are "stubble, mane (Ox)"; the absence of the back part is perhaps due to the Akkadian myth that Enkidu, after victory, tears off the back thigh of the bull and throws it into Ishtar face]: Kurtik 2007:190-191).
Melanesia. Admiralty Islands: Hoeppe 2000 (East Manus) [all older informants know about the manuai 'bird; eagle' constellation, but are not always able to explain exactly where it is located; most often identifies with Sirius (bird body), Procion (north wing) and Canopus (south wing), i.e. it occupies more than a third of the night sky; when manuai rises in the east, its wings are raised, and when descends in the west - down; manuai is visible in the evening sky with the arrival of the rainy season, the flapping of its wings contributes to the appearance of wind ai (northwest monsoon, marks the beginning of the rainy season)]: 27-29 , 31-32, 34; Ross et al. 2007 (Ninigo) [mān - constellation including Canopus, Sirius, and Procyon; mānifono 'head'); mānitola 'Procyon'; mānihaiup 'Canopus'; name The constellations go back to Protomalayan-Polynesian *manuk 'bird', Proto-Oceanic *manuk 'bird, Bird constellation' {cf.

Amur - Sakhalin. Manchus [Daimin Gasha (Daimin - "the eagle itself", Gasha - "A larger bird; {apparently, this means a mythical bird, not just an eagle}), Daimin Gege (eagle's sister), Daimin Enduri (eagle god), Dalah Daimih {probably a typo: Dalan Daimin} (senior eagle). This large constellation, also called minggan usiha (thousand stars), includes stars from Gemini, Crow, Orion, Taurus, Ursa Minor, and Ursa Major. The eagle's left paw has shackles (these are Eridani's stars). Since the constellation is far from the summer constellation Eagle, the relationship between them is weak. This is the main animal deity of the Manchu shamanic pantheon. The eagle goddess brings up the first shaman in the holy water of the solar river (according to one version, before the flood). Sometimes she is given golden wings because she is considered a messenger of fire who carries the sun]: Baker 2004:44-45.
