Lardlung, Big Trading Place, is a name for an asterism in Aquila from the Australian Wardaman people.
Etymology and History
The Wardaman name "Lardlung" is the name of a "big trading place", adjacent to the Bardardi "meeting place" in the constellation Aquila (Cairns & Harney, 2003,[1] p. 198).
Mythology
IAU Working Group on Star Names
The name Lardlung was discussed by WGSN in 2018, but no action was taken on adopting it for a star. It may be reconsidered in the future.
sig Aql currently has no proper name in SIMBAD, the wikipedia, Bright Star Catalog (4th, 5th editions), or Kunitzsch & Smart (2006).
