I have started collecting astronimical terms for Northern Pame (Otomanguean, San Luis Potosi).  So far I have just these:

Venus: proper noun meaning 'morning star'
Orion's belt: staff to sow seed
Piamedes: 'the women'
Sun: 'man'
Moon: 'woman'

Anyone have any data or sources for others in Otomanguean?
