Yes, Stephen. You are right again. You know very well the Latin! I didn't have any lecture of this.

In Astronomy it is very used (the Latin for name of the stars) the form Beta Draconis meaning the second star in brightness (usually..) belonging to the Draco constellation.. it is fun to know Latin! ;)
