	<gallery widths="200" heights="200" caption="Enduri Senggu">		According to Manchu tradition, Enduri Senggu points south with its head and north with its tail in winter, and reverses this orientation in summer. If we take ζ Cyg as the head and δ Cyg as the tail, however, this does not seem to correspond to the actual appearance of the sky: at any given time, the stars appear to maintain a fixed orientation, and when the constellation rises in the east during summer, the distinction between "head" and "tail" along the north-south axis is ambiguous.

			A plausible explanation is that the constellation is largely left‑right symmetrical. Thus either orientation can be accommodated — one simply flips the star chart horizontally to obtain the opposite heading. Both versions are equally viable and correspond well to the asterism as depicted in the traditional charts.<gallery widths="200" heights="200" caption="Enduri Senggu">
