Ciall nó Míniú (BÉARLA): name of a constellation: thoir dtuaidh a bhíons sé, Lá'l Muire beag a bhíon sé le feiceál (Sb); this description would seem to indicate the Pleiades. See Pádraig Ó Moghráin in Béaloideas, xiii, pp. 166, 184. MCd described it as 3 réalt agus 4 réalt, while TmB mentioned seacht réalt, and added faoi fhéil Páraic tá sí thiar, faoi Nollaic ó dheas, which would indicate rather Oríon, perh. See also Celtica, xii, 182.
