  النَّيِّرَةُ — the bright. An adjective sitting after its noun and matching it: it is definite (carrying its own 'the') and feminine to agree with 'stars'. Arabic places descriptions after the thing described and makes them echo the noun's definiteness and gender, the reverse of English word order.
