 Later Arabian astronomers attempted to identify this name with particular stars, principally in the modern constellations Centaurus and Colomba.Allen (1899) noted the accepted etymology but suggested that "al-furūd" might have been an old transcriber's error for القرود‎ "al-qurūd" "the apes", which he rendered "Al Ḳurūd", though this suggested has not received scholarly support.In 2016, the IAU organized a Working Group on Star Names (WGSN) to catalog and standardize proper names for stars.
