(urth) lameness

I know of Fomalhaut but was a star named Rana (frog genus) mentioned in BotNS?
 
James, your eye for detail on human-sized characters is great as is your astronomical
knowledge. Any chance these two could be combined?
 
Fish and Frog seem to me to be connected, thematically, ecologically, to the planets of 
Blue and Green- oceans being a prime habitat for fish and swampy jungles being the best 
place for frogs. Then we have the revelation at the end of RttW that Inhumi have external 
fertilization.
