I looked them up in L'Översteir but no results.
C'e bisertéu.

Also, no direct translation for "eerie" I believe.

Judging by how other Romance languages deal with them at a first glance, you could either use the Latin names for constellations or translate the meanings. So Pisces would either just be Pisces or els Peschti. Personally I would prefer the latter method but either works really.

EDIT: I might compile a list of all 88 constellations and what their translated Talossan names would be. We'll see.

Yes romance languages do use the current translation or an "erudite derivation" from the Latin name (best example is "cancer"), we don't directly use the Latin names as they are used in English.

Here is my best attempt at translating the constellations into Talossan. Constellations marked in yellow are part of the zodiac.

Just a quick note on Capricorn: in the Greek mythology it's a male (half fish half) goat (Amalthea is identified in Capella in the Auriga constellation) so we should use the male name version for goat.

I'll give a better look at the list in the next days.

Any update on this?
