English
Etymology
From Arab., via misunderstandings and mistranslations. The name of the star was originally al-Minhar al-Dajajah, "the hen's beak". Latin scholars misunderstood the name to come from a kind of herb, and translated it into ab ireo ("from ireus"). Later, people considered it as a misprint of an Arabic term, and transcribed it as al-bireo.
