About this star:

A yellow star, companion nebula to Spiculum in the constellation of Sagittarius.

Al Nasl, or An-Nasl, "the Point", or "The arrowhead". Zujj al Nushshabah of similar meaning.

The Borgian globe termed it Al Wazl, the "Junction", indicating the spot where the arrow, bow, and hand of the Archer meet.

In ancient Arabia the two small groups of stars now marking the head and the vane of the Archer's arrow were of much note as relics of still earlier asterisms, as well as a lunar station. The westernmost of these, — gamma (this star Alnasl), delta (Kaus Medius), epsilon (Kaus Australis), and eta — were Al Na'am al Warid, the Going Ostriches; and the easternmost, — sigma (Nunki), zeta (Ascella), phi, chi, and tau, — Al Na'am al Sadirah, the Returning Ostriches, passing to and from the celestial river, the Milky Way, with the star lamda (Kaus Borealis) for their Keeper.

All of the foregoing stars were included in the Arabic 18th manzil, Al Na'am.
