Regarding the Star{s}

Four groups of stars were seen, and they were named "Headstar, Star, Lowstar" and "Followstar."
The first group was {also} called "Wanderstar" [because] they moved in the sky.
The second group was {also} called "Standing Star" [because] they stood without movement.
The third group was {also} called "Stars-becoming-low" [because] they went low to the earth.
The fourth group was {also} named "Fire-tailed Star" [because] they were seen [from afar] and had tails pouring out fire.
The Sun [being angry] will say to the Universe that it[1] will have the stars.
[1] the Universe, not the sun as I understand the text.

Breakdown by morphology.

In this, I've left out the euphonic vowels, so ".r.n" (accusative plural) will be realized "-ran" in the main text, sometimes with and sometimes without a vowel before the 'r.'

Syntax

The syntax of Vaior, though well documented, is actually pretty simple.  VSO word order.  The trickiness comes when you have participles which, like Greek and Latin, can be entire sub-clauses in themselves.  There is one example of this in the text.  Just remember that nouns and adjectives agree:

hoderan nuthrothran den

in this the second accusative goes with the verb NUTHR, not the previous verb.  Remember that and this should go fine.
