That's Arabic Zodiac (soory if I make mistakes in English names, you may guess them, I don't read horoscopes, esp. in English): Hamal < Hamal - Aries Sawr < thawr - Taurus Jawza < jawzaa2 - Gemini Saratan < saraTaan - Cancer Asad < asad - Leo Sonbolah < sunbulat - Virgo (lit. ear [of corn]) Meezan < miizaan - Libra Aqrab < 3aqrab - Scorpio Qaws < qaws - Saggitarius Jaddi < jady - Capricorn Dalwa < dalw - Aquarius (lit. pail) Hoot < Huut - Pisces Translit traditionally conventional (not CXS!) > Cheers, > Eamon Hayro, -- Yitzik
