Enduri Senggu (Hedgehog Goddess), a Manchu shamanic constellation located in Cygnus. In Manchu, enduri means "god" or "godness", and sengge (spelled as senggu in this star name) means "hedgedog". Another more common proper name for this goddess is Jeguru Enduri.

Jeguru Enduri does not refer to a single specific hedgehog, but rather to many Jeguru Enduri existing at the same time, much like hedgehogs living in groups in the real world. Each has the form of a hedgehog, so the name means “hedgehog-shaped goddesses”, not “goddess of hedgehogs”).

Identification of stars

Asu Usiha recorded by Fu Yuguang

Asu Usiha was recorded by Fu Yuguang during his fieldwork. The shamanic tradition has its own star charts, but since photography was not permitted, Fu Yuguang had to hand‑copy the star charts of all 20 constellations. Based on his field findings, he identified Asu Usiha with the constellation Hercules.
