Vega is the second brightest star in the northern celestial hemisphere. Its name comes from the Arabic name "wāqi‘" (an-nasr al-wāqi‘), meaning "falling" (falling eagle). In the Arabic script, it is واقع (النسر الواقع).

Note how the parenthesized phrase ends up in the middle of the sentence, even though it should go at the end like this:

In the Arabic script, it is WAQE (ALNASR ALWAQE).
