The first component of Pi¹ Cygni, a binary star in the northern constellation of Cygnus.

Etymology

Either: * From Arabic الذَّيْل الدَّجَاجَة (aḏ-ḏayl ad-dajāja, “the tail of the hen”). Cygnus is known in Arabic as الدَّجَاجَة (ad-dajāja, “the hen”). * From Arabic الظِّلْف الْفَرَس (aẓ-ẓilf al-faras, “the hoof of the horse”), in reference to Pegasus, or to another “Stallion” constellation known to medieval Arabs. In the modern conception of constellations, Pegasus does not extend this far, but its hooves do border another part of Cygnus.
