<Ben>
`F$ or `FYi$ comes from the root `uW$, to come to help or hasten. The
fastest-moving bright star is Alpha-Bootes, "Arcturus", which moves about
half a degree of arc in 800 years (about the diameter of the moon). Then the
"sons of Arcturus" would be the rest of the cluster of Bootes.

Does this help any? I have no definitive answer.

<Bill>
I love it! I've always been amazed at how observant people have been in
studying the stars. As fast as Arcturus moves, it is still slow enough to
amaze me that people notice way back in Job's day.
