Reference · The 88 constellations, in English and Japanese
constellationfunction
A constellation by any of its names, ignoring case and the accent on Boötes: the IAU abbreviation (CMa), the Latin name (Canis Major), the genitive (Canis Majoris), the English name
(Great Dog), the Japanese name with or without 座 (おおいぬ座, おおいぬ) in katakana or hiragana, or its hiragana reading (おおいぬざ). A text that would name two constellations finds
neither.
