Stellar letters
The 4-consonant name needs its 3 distinct simple-letters to be occupied in the sky. The 7 classical bodies open a sign → its Hebrew simple letter; this name reads only when the planets sit in exactly these signs.
Readable on these rare conjunctions
Enoch appears in the stellar reading on 0 of the 12 dated rare conjunctions (proofs.json). Its required simple letters are never all occupied together on these 12 dates — a multi-letter name is rarer than a single-letter one. Open any date in the Reader to inspect that sky.
No readable date among the 12 — this name needs more simultaneous simple letters than any of these conjunctions occupy.
