It has three names: ''{{lang|sei-Latn|Hant Caalajc Ipápjö}}'', ''{{lang|sei-Latn|Queeto}}'', and ''{{lang|sei-Latn|Azoj Yeen oo Caap}}'' ({{gloss|star that goes ahead}}). The lunar month corresponding to October is called ''{{lang|sei-Latn|Queeto yaao}}'' {{gloss|Aldebaran's path}}.<ref name=moser/> * [[Indigenous Australian|Australian Aboriginal]] culture: amongst indigenous people of the Clarence River, in north-eastern [[New South Wales]], this star is the ancestor ''Karambal'', who stole another man's wife.
