Point in case regarding archers connected to spirituality and high socia sanding: That picture of an archer in combination with a sun from Assuria [1] was probably not showing just any old hunter, but a deified leader.

I wouldn't be so quick to disregard the comment mentioning "generals". It might still be one folkloric reading. > So the whole name just means "constellation of the three". This could be a reduction. > Actually, 宿 means "constellation" in this context Maybe 参宿 was the first term using this, originally with a different poetic interpretation, reinterpreted to mean constellation. Also, concerning houses, the sign is derived from a symbol that clearly looks like a house, but also like an up arrow. The stylized version simply looks like a roof. The sky is often metaphorically called a roof. Incidentally, I sill suspect a relation between sky, from (s)kew-, and ceiling, from kel-. If you compare this with the Egyptian hieroglyph for sky [1], there's a roof in there , too, with a bit of imagination.
