Name origin

Applied in recent times from the collective ind-A name al-nasaqan, "the Two Lines [of stars]" for two asterisms in today's Hercules, Serpens, Ophiuchus, and Lyra. al-nasaqan originally marked the boundaries of the ind-Arabs' al-rauda, "the Pasture". These boundaries were "the Northern Line" al-nasaq al-sha'ami, and "the Southern Line" al-nasaq al-yamani.
