	The original Egyptian constellation of Wia, the Boat, was huge, stretching from Scorpius through Sagittarius.		The original Egyptian constellation of Wia, the Boat, was huge, stretching from [[Scorpius]] through [[Sagittarius]]. Wia is huge in RA (covering several hours) as proven by the decan diagonal clocks and celestial diagrams (see Fig. 4.10 in Belmonte & Lull 2023). This is also illustrated in Fig. 4.41.

			== IAU WGSN star name discussion ==
			The name was suggested to WGSN in 2025. Wia is a huge Egyptian constellation as Reret of Nekhet, spreading from Scorpius to Sagittarius, so I do not see appropriate to name a single star after it. Much more appropriate might be Hery-ib-Wia ("In the Middle of the Boat") if we find a star close to Kaus Australis without a name (see Fig 4.1 and Table 4.5 in Belmonte and Lull, 2023, for ideas).

What does the term mean, does it always have the same meaning - was it changed over time.
