Ethnographic information collected by the authors on former star use along the Arabian Sea coast of Oman is presented and discussed. Although the stars were not observed directly, some were identified from detailed descriptions and astronomy software. Many are associated with winds warning of danger at sea, a few to tell the direction, and others to note productive fishing periods. Not all stars in the full-year calendars prepared by others had practical applications. To clarify the issues raised, it will be necessary to spend more time in the fishing settlements, where possible watching stars with people who still remember them.

阿曼渔民的明星使用

介绍并讨论了作者收集的关于阿曼阿拉伯海沿岸前恒星使用情况的人种学信息。尽管没有直接观测到恒星，但从详细描述和天文学软件中可以识别出一些恒星。许多与狂风警告海上危险有关​​，有的与风向相关，有的与风向标有关。并非其他人准备的全年日历中的所有星星都有实际应用。为了弄清所提出的问题，有必要在钓鱼定居点上花费更多的时间，在可能的情况下与仍然记得他们的人一起看星星。
