tannacolli

proper name. Signifer

Name of a star translated as “Signifer”, a compound of tanna “sign” and a (feminine?) form of the adjective colla “borne” (MR/385), perhaps literally meaning “✱Sign Bearer”. It has variant forms Tankol and Tainacolli. Its gloss “Signifer” is Latin for “sign-bearer”; hat-tip to Gilruin for point this out to me.
