The Orphan Boy (Iliarjugaarjuk) legend is not connected with Aagjuuk in Igloolik, there it is connected with Sivulliik and Kingulliq. In the Thule region the constellation Aagssuk (= Aagjuuk) has this connection, that is the story we saw earlier. But that one maybe should be regarded as the exception confirming the rule.

Instead Aagjuuk had a clear role in marking time:

"Many of the elders interviewed recalled as children being sent outside in the dark winter mornings to see if Aagjuuk were visible. The term 'aagjuliqtuq' ('it is making the sign of Aagjuuk') implied that the day's activities should begin: 'These stars were used to determine the passage of time. Before the break of dawn we would visit our elder and he would ask if it was 'Aagjulirtuq'. Aagjuuk are located above the daylight." (Arctic Sky)

Once again a confirmation of the similarity in structure between year and day.

However, there is also a connection between Aagjuuk and a grandmother (with a young boy who every morning takes out her potty).
