Quote:The criticism of Timm & Schinner's self-citation theory is interesting...
I believe this solution is actually compatible with Torsten Timm.
The author was inventing words and altering them.
See at the names of the stars from f68R1:
f68R1.P.4;H> SIATUR.ANUM
<f68R1.X.1;H> CUNNUS
<f68R1.X.2;H> SARUS
<f68R1.X.3;H> INICANARUM
<f68R1.S.1;H> CAPINIS
<f68R1.S.2;H> PININAMINIS
<f68R1.S.3;H> SATICTUS
<f68R1.S.4;H> OFINIS
<f68R1.S.5;H> APINIS
<f68R1.S.6;H> AMINICUS
<f68R1.S.7;H> AMICATUS
<f68R1.S.8;H> OSICMINIS
<f68R1.S.9;H> APICATUR
<f68R1.S.10;H> AMATER
<f68R1.S.11;H> ANCATUR
<f68R1.S.12;H> ANECOTULIS
<f68R1.S.13;H> ANOCATUS
<f68R1.S.14;H> ANOTTUS
<f68R1.S.15;H> ANINATUR
<f68R1.S.16;H> ALIATUR
<f68R1.S.17;H> ARTUM
<f68R1.S.18;H> CONMIATUS
<f68R1.S.19;H> AMOICTUS
<f68R1.S.20;H> ANOTUTUS
<f68R1.S.21;H> AMALIS
<f68R1.S.22;H> AMATUR
<f68R1.S.23;H> AMcSCUS
<f68R1.S.24;H> AMCATUS
<f68R1.S.25;H> AMCANIS
<f68R1.S.26;H> AMCAS
<f68R1.S.27;H> MOCEOSMINIS
<f68R1.S.28;H> CONNITUS
<f68R1.S.29;H> AMcSSA
By the way I see some subtle hints that the author could invent these names while thinking of real stars - Saturn, Antares, Arcturus, Capella, Canopus, Sirius...
Or am I getting paranoid?
