Gemini; a celestial name
In Turkish: İkizler burcu; göksel bir ad
Cevza is associated especially with Gemini in historical Turkish astronomical vocabulary. It therefore carries the imagery of the sky and constellations. The Arabic astronomical tradition applied the same designation in more than one celestial context, so it should not simply be translated as an ordinary word meaning “star.”
