Q. Tannacolli pn. “Signifer”

Q. Tannacolli, pn. “Signifer”

Name of a star translated as “Signifer”, a compound of tanna¹ “sign” and a (feminine?) form of the adjective colla “borne” (MR/385), perhaps literally meaning “*Sign Bearer”. It has variant forms Tankol and Tainacolli. Its gloss “Signifer” is Latin for “sign-bearer”; hat-tip to Gilruin for point this out to me.
