Hevelius has ω in his
illustration, but this late rising star is not in
my list. I decided to update it with this and
maybe other omitted stars in Sagittarius.
A quick
look on the star chart reveals my list seems to be
complete up to and including Alrami (α), but beyond
are υ, χ, ρ, ω, ι, θ, and κ.
19 (incl.
Sham) + 7 = 26,
and Sagittarius is in the southern hemisphere.
However, closer
examination revealed ρ and υ were rising somewhat earlier than Alrami:

Terebellum (ω)
has its name from a 'borer', a kind of mollusc which makes
holes in ships.
"Terebellum
derives from a Latin word meaning borer or augur ...
Terebellum is a genus of sea snails, marine gastropod
mollusks in the family Strombidae, the true conchs ..."
(Wikipedia)
Quite suitable
because the 300 days from March 21 have ended and the 'Ship
of Sun' should sink down (†) here. Allen:
"ω, 4.8; A, 5; b,
4.7; and c, 4, forming a small
quadrangle on the hind quarter of the horse, were the
τετράπλερον of Ptolemy, which Bayer repeated in the Low
Latin Terebellum, still often seen for these stars´. The Standard
Dictionary gives it thus, but instead mentions the
components as ω, or α¹, b and e.
The Chinese knew this
little figure a Kow Kwo, the Dog's Country."
