Are they a random number of stars (like in the example I linked above) or is the number meaningful?
If the number is relevant, are they Pleiades or a different group of seven stars? Examples are the planets and certain other constellations (Some Ursa? It's been a while.)
If they are Pleiades, are we looking at the "scientific" name or a vernacular version like "sisters"?
If scientific, then Greek or an Arabic version?
If vernacular, then which language?
If any of the above, then which spelling?
Now imagine a theorist looking for confirmation for his system. He could use any of the steps above to fashion something out if this crib that is to his liking.
