The Problem is they use different names on some signs.
Keep also in mind that the CM7 starmap reveals not the positions of the starsigns in the different months, the whole starmap rotates within. and I assume that the sign of that month is the one on the Horizon... However, even the order of the PWA names is different from CM7. As starsigns do not shift their positions between themselves, it can only be assumed the Thytians made (again) several flaws in their translations. Or their must be some other reason why a star sign belongs to a specific month.
The runes on the starmap are Dwarven Runes, scribed in the English/Thyatian tongue ...making it even a bit more confusing..the names of each month might be treu translated elvish versions, but must thus be translated in elvish...harrum
But even then the starsigns will follow the same order of movement and thus placement along the calender.
As thus we must assume the Thyatians see another image in the same signs (using other lines between the stars) and thus may have similar names (from elven heritage presumably) but actually different in using for each sign.
Ths the reason Both the CM7 Elven and Thyatian have a warrior sign, but use a different location/sign/season.
Elven/Alphatian is the Thyatian words translated in Elvish also used by the Alphatians
Blackmoor as per Ripvanwormer's research
Nithia as per Middle egyptian Kingdom (seemed best fitting with a clear nithian feel ) Akhet = Winter, Peret = Summer, Shemu = Flooding. Nithians(like Egyptians) had only 3 equally sized seasons.
Have to research more for the other 4Edit 18-10; Added other Blackmoor names as per Rips awesome advice. I choose from the list those missing, while viewing the Starsign itself, looking for envisionable resemblances between the sign and the name; if it would be possible/logical to use that name for that sign.
Edit;22-10 Added Ochalean starsigns (translated from Japanese), Added Nimmurian starsigns (translated from Sumerian), Heratian (Translated from Babylonian),Hule/Sind (Translated from Sanskrit)
