K19G. Stars differ in brilliance and color .41.43.-.49.

One star is an old man, the other is young; both stars differ in brilliance or color, but it is impossible to determine the age of a male star by these signs (a dim star can to be young and vice versa); usually two girls want different types of stars to be husbands (one bright, the other is dull, one is red, the other is blue, etc.). See K19B motif.
