Planets of Chihazh

Chihazh is commonly considered by Galhafan astronomers to have 11 known major planets in 10 orbits[1], although we would probably classify Havatrakh as a brown dwarf rather than as a planet. Names are given in both modern Ivetsian with their derivation from Classical Sanle and in Classical Blafu, the language of scholarship. Planetary names are descriptive. In Ivetsian, they end with a suffix derived from the Classical Sanle tkab meaning "star", but now used to simply mean "planet". In modern Ivetsian, this morpheme is usually -takh, but can sometimes be -dakh or -ska. Excluding Galhaf itself, there were five planets known to ancient observers.

Notes

  1. ↑ Some astronomers define "major planet" differently and thus count more than 11
  2. ↑ Due to its proximity to Chihazh, it is always lost in the glare
  3. ↑ Classical Kasshian
  4. ↑ Sub-brown dwarf
  5. ↑ Trojan planet
  6. ↑ In 3:2 resonance with Vozataftakh
  7. ↑ In 2:3 orbital resonance with Havatrakh
  8. ↑ Originally known as Jishiska, then Dakuhezh
  9. ↑ 9.0 9.1 In 3:2 resonance with Nyatakh
