Talitha
Ursa Major · ι UMa · HR 3569
Name origin
Applied in recent times from an abbreviation of the ind-A name alqafza al-thalitha, "the Third Leap," for ι and κ UMa. This pair, with the pairs λ/μ and v/ξ UMa, composed the ind-A asterism qafazat al-ziba', "the Leaps of the Gazelles," imagined as the tracks left by those animals. In some later tradition, qafazat al-ziba' and adjacent asterisms were associated in a fable, where several gazelles leaped away from the Lion into a pond, leaving their tracks behind.
