Siril written in the Gindas. Note that the first glyph, “moon”, conveys no phonetic meaning, and is used here only to indicate that the second glyph, “pivot, axis”, refers to something cosmological.

Colored red, Siril is the brightest star in the night sky. Its position is fixed above true north within the constellation Little Loon, for which reason it’s commonly called the North Star. Siril is used as a navigational aid by all sailors, travelers, explorers, and wanderers.


Etymology

Siril translates as “pivot, fulcrum, axis” from the verb ser, sir (“spin, turn, rotate”), the idea being that the night sky seemingly rotates around it.
